Jenn Fishman

This interactive presentation invites symposium participants to consider scholarly communication from faculty perspectives.

How can faculty effectively mine and share their fields' resources for digital research and scholarly communication? When, how, and why should faculty seek opportunities to engage emerging forms of research and opportunities for digital scholarly communication? And what can …

Documenting Your Institution's Patents: A Case Study From Clemson University, Jan Comfort Dec 2015

Documenting Your Institution's Patents: A Case Study From Clemson University, Jan Comfort

Jan Comfort

R.M. Cooper Library at Clemson University is a Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC).  In 2013, we embarked upon a project to add access to Clemson patents to TigerPrints (our Institutional Repository) and to our online catalog.  The steps that we took can be followed by anyone who is interested in showcasing patents associated with their own institution.  I focused on using free, widely-available resources, so there is no need to rely on databases that are only available at a PTRC, although these resources can be very helpful.
