• Review and respond to the EU Green Paper 'questionnaire' by 31 August 2007. STM believes it is important that publishers participate in the 'public consultation' in a large number -- in surveys like this, quantity counts. Please respond to the questionnaire. 

• We need publishers to sign up for the Draft 'Safe Harbor Provisions for the Use of Orphan Works for STM Literature.'  Connected to this document is our 'Science and Medical Publishers Imprints List.'
  

• Sign on to 'Draft Scholarly Publisher Guidelines for Quotation and Other Academic Uses of Excerpts.' These guidelines deal with the use of material from published journal articles in subsequent print and electronic publications  - a kind of broad extension of the 'STM Permissions Guidelines.'

• Review and sign on to the 'STM Permissions Guidelines', if you haven't already.
