Stanford Open Access Week 2014 presentation
The document discusses openness in scholarly publishing and teaching materials. It introduces Creative Commons, a nonprofit that provides free copyright licenses to allow sharing and reuse of creative works. There are 6 main Creative Commons licenses that combine elements of attribution, sharealike, noncommercial, and noderivatives. Open access publishing and open educational resources are also covered, with the goals of making research and educational content freely available online under open licenses. Examples of open access repositories and journals as well as open educational resources are provided. The document encourages using open licensing to increase access, collaboration, and impact of scholarly and educational works.

- 1. The HOW andWHY for openness in scholarly publishing and teaching materials Timothy Vollmer | Stanford School of Medicine Lane Library | October 22, 2014
- 2. What should wetalk about? • What’s Creative Commons and why is it useful? • What are CC licenses and how do they work? • Who uses CC? • CC and open access publishing • CC and open educational resources • Connection between OA and OER • Q&A
- 4. Nonprofit organization Freecopyright licenses Founded in 2001 Operate worldwide
- 5. Creative Commons develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation.
- 6. The problem: traditionalcopyright does not work well for sharing and free online collaboration.
- 7. Features of copyrighttoday • Supposed to “promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts” • Automatic • in U.S., lasts for life of author + 70 years • “bundle of rights” = reproduce, make derivative works, distribute, public performance • Have to ask permission • Infringement is expensive ($750-$150k) • Safety valves (fair use) • Public domain = no copyright protection • Facts not protected
- 8.
- 9. With the web, It’s so damn easy to share
- 10. But how toask permission?
- 11. How to supportthose that just want to share?
- 12. CC’s solution: Astandardized, legally robust way to grant copyright permissions to creative works.
- 13.
- 14. CC’s legal infrastructure: (1) Copyright Licenses (2) Public Domain Tools
- 15. (1) CC CopyrightLicenses
- 16. CC licenses buildon traditional copyright • “All Rights Reserved” to “Some Rights Reserved” • Gives creators a choice about which freedoms to grant and which rights to keep • minimizes transaction costs by granting the public certain permissions beforehand
- 17. License Building Blocks All CC licenses are combinations of 4 elements: Attribution ShareAlike NonCommercial NoDerivatives

- 20. Public Domain Dedication Licenses
- 21. Anatomy of aCC License:
- 26. (2) Public DomainTools
- 27. CC0 Public DomainDedication (read “CC Zero”) Universal waiver, permanently surrenders copyright and related rights, placing the work as nearly as possible into the public domain worldwide
- 28. CC Public DomainMark Not legally operative, but a label to be used by those with knowledge of a work already in the public domain Only intended for use with works in the worldwide public domain
- 29.
- 30. 500M – 1Bworks
- 31. Who uses CreativeCommons?
- 32. Wikipedia: Over 77,000contributors working on over 22 million articles in 285 languages; 23 million files on Commons
- 37.
- 39. By "open access"to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited. - Budapest Open Access Initiative, February 2002
- 40. TWO PATHS GREEN= Repositories GOLD = Open Access Journals
- 41. EXAMPLES GREEN =NIH Public Access Policy GOLD = Public Library of Science
- 43. Why publish OpenAccess? • Aligned with goals of research and advancement of science and scholarship • OA citation advantage; academic authors write to be read • “Unexpected readers”; Ability for work to be used in other contexts; if openly licensed allows for translations, use as open educational resources such as Wikipedia • Funding mandates require openness/sharing • Retain rights to your work
- 49. FOCUS: OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
- 50. OER are teaching,learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. - William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
- 51.
- 52.
- 55.
- 56. Why publish OERs? • Cost saving for students; rough estimate is that CC-licensed open textbooks saved $100M • Overcome barriers: language (translations possible), discovery (Google index of CC-licensed content), technical (move content to other formats), cultural (re-use of materials in other teaching contexts and in other parts of world) • Increased exposure to teaching/research; coordination with other faculty
- 57.
- 60. Where to find(and share) freely re-usable images? • Flickr • Wikimedia Commons • Internet Archive • Digital Public Library of America • Europeana
- 67.
- 68.
- 69.
- 70. • Attribution: •Who’s the rightsholder? • Where does it live online? • What is the license used? • Intended to be flexible • With 4.0, “in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, context” • For example, put it on a webpage and provide a link to that page with the image

Editor's Notes
- #2 So hello everyone! Thanks for having me today. I’m here to talk to you about Creative Commons and the free legal tools that we offer, especially for librarians – and how CC tools can be a librarian’s best friend when it comes to explaining things like copyright, pointing the community, especially educators and students, to free academic and educational resources, and how to use and attribute these resources. First, I’d love a show of hands – maybe in the chat – for how many of your familiar with Creative Commons? Abstract: Creative Commons are a librarian's best friend when it comes to explaining copyright, pointing others to free academic and educational resources, and highlighting reuse and attribution best practices. Learn about Creative Commons -- the organization and its mission; its copyright licenses; its public domain tools, especially CC0 (read CC Zero); how to discover, find and attribute CC-licensed content; and how to license your own content with a CC license. We will also go over a few of the major organizations and institutions who have adopted CC licensing.
