Do NOT process any items that Michelle has crossed off. If she crossed them off, she is instructing you not to process them.

...

• The determination of whether an item is free is based on whether the publisher is making the item available for free or if the U.S. government is making an item available for free. There may be free versions posted elsewhere, but if an item is not free on the publisher's site, or in a U.S. government database, it's not free.
• When working at home, any item you can access on the publisher's site or in a database without using the proxy server is free.
• Items Some works are available for free in the these U.S. government database, :
  • ERIC,
   
  • eric.edu.gov, (works on education)
  ,
  • Medline/PubMed,
   
  • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ (medical works),
  and the
  • The NASA Technical Report Server,
   
  • https://www.sti.nasa.gov/
   
  • (NASA Publications and NASA employee publications)
  , are free
  • .
  • Sometimes articles in these databases are free, and sometimes they're not free, so you have to figure this out.
   
  • A pubmed record may have a link icon that says free or  an attached pdf.  When unsure if an item is free or not, simply try the links to find out.
• When working in the library, materials in databases that UMBC subscribes to may appear to be free when they are not.  These are paywall protected pages where anyone accessing via UMBC IP ranges automatically is given access. Generally if there is a UMBC logo or mention of UMBC on the page, it's a subscription resource that is paywall protected. A list of UMBC paywall protected subscription resources that appear free is here: Vendors/Platforms that are Paywall Protected (this list is likely not complete–if come across something that needs to be added to it, let Michelle know). Individual items on paywall protected sites are free if the record explicitly states that the item is open access, available for free, or is on a Creative Commons license. Science  
• Science Direct is a subscription database and not free, even though UMBC isn't mentioned on it, unless the record says it's Under an Elsevier user license, or Open Access, in which case that particular item is free. If Open Access, check for a Creative Commons license or terms.
• If an item is free on the publisher's site or in a U.S. government database, write "free" next to it.

...

• Using the published version on the publisher's website, and the publisher's record, look for"Open Access" on the work itself or it's record. Note that if it's not free on the publisher's site, it is NOT open access. If it says "Open Access", check the Policies on File document for the publisher. If it indicates that all of the publisher's works are on a Creative Commons license, note the license type, and follow the above steps for items on a Creative Commons license.

...

If there is no indication anywhere that an item has ever been published, write "unpublished" next to it. Technical reports are typically unpublished, although if issued by an agency, the agency should be considered the publisher. If we have the author's permission to load, skip down to "Determine which collections to add an item to."

• If the work or record states what version it is, that is what it is.
• If you can't determine whether something is a preprint or postprint, assume that it's the version that you can post. If you can post either, assume that it's a preprint.

Check rights to determine if we can add files, links, or both

All items that we add must be available to the user for free, either because we provide a file the user can access, or because we provide a link to the publisher's website where the item is available for free.

• The distribution of files is governed by copyright law. Therefore when adding files we need to abide by publisher's policies, usually available in the "Policies on File Document," the "Sherpa-Romeo database, or on the journal or publishers website. When adding a file, a link to the final published version of an item should always also be included even if the final published version is behind a paywall.
• If if we can't post the file but the item is available for free on the publisher's site, it can be posted with a link only, as copyright law doesn't apply to links. Link-only is decided based on if an item is free on the publisher's site. Copyright law and publisher's policies are not relevant to link only items.
• If we can't post a file and the item is not free, we only record a note on the print-out saying what version is needed.

If there are authors found in the directory but there is either no department or status given, check the web pages of the departments, or the departments of other authors for that person to find their department and status.
