“I am in-between post-docs and I am having difficulty
obtaining journal access”
–Post-doc, US
“I don’t have access to many articles due to … sanctions. … I
really appreciate this policy of MIT that helped me a lot.”
– Researcher, Middle East
“For a small, publicly funded …media like the one I direct…
academic knowledge… can be quite time-consuming and
often very expensive.”
Fourth point:
Obvious potential to disseminate
heritage items for reuse

Sixth point:
Usage rights statements are often
vague, overly restrictive & not
standardised across the sector
Seventh point:
Many heritage institutions feel
tension between kaitiaki and
reuse

No Known Copyright
https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVTWhat to Do?.
Start from the other direction
First:
Clearly mark out-of-copyright
works as such.
Second:
Use Creative Commons licensing
for works with CC-friendly
donors
Third:
Works for which institution holds
copyright: use CC licensing
Fourth:
Add Creative Commons option to
donor/deposit agreements.
Wait. What is Creative Commons,
anyway?
Here's the pitch:
Creative Commons licences are
clear, simple, free, legally robust
and let you keep your copyright.
