Two years after Katrina, Tulane University’s library sees returns
Some 210,000 items that were salvaged from Tulane University’s Howard-Tilton Memorial Library are finally being returned to their shelves, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. It has been more than two and a half years since the library was flooded by eight feet of water following Hurricane Katrina. The Library Associates Companies has been helping with the recovery effort by cataloging donated and replacement items.

National Institutes of Health research papers go online for free
As of April 7, all research papers funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health must be made available for free online within one year of their publication, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported.

The NIH released the new regulations in January at the request of Congress. The policy, which has been criticized for being either too harsh or too lenient, dictates that all NIH-funded papers must be placed in PubMed Central, NIH’s online database. Several universities and library groups have created Web sites to help NIH-funded researchers adhere to the new guidelines.
