Author Addenda by Peter Hirtle

Mr. Hirtle quite usefully reviews five author addenda that are designed for authors at the point of negotiating copyright with publishers. I'm planning on using it for my classes on copyright for authors and recommend it.

Berkeley Digital Library SunSITE: Copyright, Intellectual Property Rights and Licensing Issues

This page is a very rich resource for all the topics listed in the title. I particularly like the currency of the links and their organization. Being of a medium length and level of detail, it links out to more detailed resources in the various categories:

Current Awareness
Reference
Organizations
Initiatives & Projects
Articles, Papers & Reports
Laws, Policies & Court Opinions

If you're going to pattern your page after an existing one, you could do a lot worse!
