Dear AMICO Rights Committee,

The RLG University Testbed Preview begun implementing AMICO's requirements regarding rights statements and rights links (RIL field). Please take some time to look at the system http://eureka.rlg.org/amico and review how and where Rights data and Rights links appear.

Are they OK to you?

Some of the RIL values in contributed catalog records are pointing to generic top-level web pages, or to "404 not found messages" still. Please check your Rights Links and make sure that they are pointing to a page that describes how a user of the AMICO Libary can request further rights. Imagine yourself in the position of a faculty member who wants to publish a work in an article. We've required that they ask permission to reproduce works of art. Let's make compliance as easy as possible.

Thanks.

jennifer and David
