Editor's Notes
- #3 My name is Nick and I’ve been a Repository Developer for 7 years. I’m not a real librarian and I mostly use Google
- #11 XOT is web rather than desktop based so needs to be installed on a web-server. Technical implementation is relatively straightforward however and has the advantage that it can be accessed from any networked PC rather than a small number of licensed machines as is often the case with specialised commercial software and means it can be made available to all staff, and potentially students, across an organisation and is itself a potential tool for teaching Digital Literacy13; input is form based, intuitive enough for beginners with the option to use HTML tags or more sophisticated web-based technology. It can also be embedded on any webpage using an iframe. Moreover, as output is HTML5, unlike proprietary software, content is accessible on any device/browser including mobile. Content can also be more easily reused even without access to the software itself - just by cut and paste / right click -> save as. Like any HTML webpage.
- #14 Exceptions: Non-commercial research and private study Text and data mining for non-commercial research Criticism, review and reporting current events Teaching The creator or copyright holder of a work has the exclusive right to: copy the work issue copies of the work to the public perform, show or play the work to the public communicate the work to the public (via broadcast or electronic transmission) make an adaptation of the work Except under certain circumstances, you should only copy or use a work protected by copyright with the copyright holder’s permission.

- #17 We also promote OER’s to students via our Subject pages
- #18 GOLD immediate (unembargoed) OA to the version of record from its own web site under a CC-BY license must allow immediate deposit of the version of record in an OA repository (also under CC-BY) may levy an Article Processing Charge (APC) GREEN must allow deposit of the peer-reviewed manuscript in an OA repository not operated by the publisher must allow non-commercial reuse may require an embargo of up to 12 months for work funded by the AHRC and the ESRC up to six months for work funded by any other Research Council must not charge a fee for this option
- #20 Intro to Marketing Intro to strategic management Research practice methods Project management Idea is the core content modules contain tutorials, teaching materials that academic staff can repurpose for themselves
