No. 323.............................................April 2009
Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives
On March 11 the Senate passed and President Obama signed into law the 2009 Consolidated Appropriations Act. Tucked within the Act was a provision making the NIH Public Access Policy permanent.
“The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require in the current fiscal year and thereafter that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law.”
No other changes to the policy were made. The following are still required:- Ensuring the author has permission from the journal publisher to submit the article to NIH
- Submission of manuscripts ACCEPTED for publication on or after April 7, 2008
- Deposit of the author’s manuscript into PubMed Central (PMC), unless the journal is going to deposit the article for you
- Approval of the submission by the PI, if another person deposited the manuscript
- Final approval by the PI of the Web version of the manuscript to be posted by NIH, including those manuscripts submitted by the journal on behalf of the author
Good News! Many journals are submitting on behalf of authors.
Beware! Some charge fees, but you do not need to pay the journal or publisher to do it for you. Submission to NIH is free and easy! - Inclusion of the PMC ID numbers in new proposals, renewals, reports, and biosketches.
Note: When you submit manuscript files, you will initially receive a NIHMS ID number, which is later replaced by the PMC ID number.
NIH is now notifying researchers if they think an article should have been submitted to them. The PI will receive an email asking for the status of the manuscript. Remember the magic date is ACCEPTED for publication on or after April 7, 2008, NOT when the article was published.
You do not need to submit manuscripts for articles accepted for publication before April 7, 2008, unless you want to. If you decide to do this, check the agreement with the journal to make sure you have permission to deposit the article.
For more details about the policy, training materials, and handouts about how to comply, visit the Library’s Website at http://www.mclibrary.duke.edu/nihpolicy.

Several members of the Medical Center Library staff collaborated with the Duke Integrative Medicine Education Team on March 13th to assist with the fourth annual Integrative Medicine Capstone Fair, which is part of a month-long course to prepare fourth year medical students for their first year in residency. During this half-day fair, more than twenty health care practitioners from Duke and the surrounding communities donated their time to educate the students about complementary and alternative medicine, offering 20-40 minute didactic and interactive sessions ranging from Western Herbs and Medicine to Aroma Therapy, Acupuncture, Reiki, Yoga, Feldenkrais, and Guided Imagery. Library volunteers served as “shepherds” for the 103 medical students and guided them from session to session.
“The range of what students get from these interactions is so broad it stretches from evidence resources they didn’t know, to a deeper understanding of other mainstream disciplines such as Health Psychology, to provocative or puzzling practices that their future patients may use,” said Dr. Sam Moon, Associate Director of Education at Duke Integrative Medicine. “We ask that they not relax their critical scientific skepticism at all, but to ponder what it is about any practice or intervention that would attract and potentially fulfill the needs of patients.” Susan Eudy, a member of the Office of Curriculum Capstone Team, was also there to lend support. “It was an exciting and very informative event, a morning that the students enjoyed. Many expressed gratitude for the content and organizational preparation on their behalf,” she said.

In order to get an accurate picture of the items contained within a collection, institutions often perform inventories of their historical materials. Recently the Duke History of Medicine Collections and the Physician Assistant History (PAHx) Center undertook such an inventory. Interns Leila Ledbetter and Lea Walker were hired to photograph the historical items and enter data using PastPerfect, a software program allowing entry of digital images for each inventory item.
The impetus for the inventory of the History of Medicine Collections was an internal audit, which all centers at Duke undergo. Under the direction of Curator Suzanne Porter, an inventory database was created. It includes such interesting items as photographs of thick plastic contact lenses from the 1940s and early 1950s, amputation saws from the mid-seventeenth century, ivory anatomical dolls, and glass eyeballs. The database allows Library staff to very quickly retrieve particular information about each item, including who donated it and when, and where it is located within the collection.
An inventory was also conducted at the Eugene A. Stead, Jr. Center of items in the reading room and the museum, which is an exact reconstruction of Stead’s working office in his lake house. Under the direction of Dr. Reginald Carter, Historian Emeritus, PAHx Center, and Adonna Thompson, Assistant Director, Medical Center Archives, certificates, book covers, and other personal items were scanned for inclusion in the inventory database. The database can be used internally and also has a searchable component so that researchers will be able to view the items in the collection.
