Sorry bout the misplaced file! Here's the real thing: Database Access Policy The Archaeology Collections Database at the University of Alaska Museum is an important resource that can be used to access data from the collections, as well as a tool for collections management. However, the database is not a source of primary data. Researchers making use of data from the Archaeology Collections Database should recognize the nature of the data and acknowledge professional responsibilities entailed in the use of these data. The Archaeology Collections Database is intended to support use of the Archaeology Collections, not to replace use of the Collections themselves. It is the first step in the process of research, an important tool for organization of data prior to primary data gathering. In many cases, the data contained in the database may be incomplete or in error. It is the responsibility of the researcher to verify catalog entry identification and associated information before reporting data from the Archaeology Collections Database in any form. Access to the Archaeology Collections Database must be approved by the Archaeology Curator. Any request for copies of information in the Archaeology Collections Database must be submitted as a written proposal, stipulating the proposed use of the information. Researchers must sign an agreement with University of Alaska Museum detailing restrictions on the use of data from the Archaeology Collections Database. As a recipient of data we ask that you signify your agreement to the following stipulations by signing and returning this document: 1) The data provided are to be used only in the manner described in a written request. These data are not to be transmitted to other investigators nor incorporated into other permanent databases. Sale of these data is not permitted. 2) Any report or summary based on these data must explicitly acknowledge the Archaeology Collection at the University of Alaska Museum and state clearly the extent to which the results stem from (or do not stem from) the examination of the collections. 3) You recognize the provisional status of the data. We do not certify the correctness of any particular datum. The database is a management tool and changes to the database are ongoing. 4) You agree to notify the Museum of erroneous or improbable data that you encounter. The database is enhanced by the cumulative effort of its users.
