Permission Process
Working with non-profit publishers for
sharing with the BHL
To digitize and mount works under
copyright BHL must obtain permission
from the copyright holders.
Many biodiversity journals and
monographs are published by non-profit
institutions or learned societies whose
mission is to promote research and
learning.
Some of these institutions have not sold
their rights to commercial publishers and
are open to sharing with the BHL.
So what? Does [fill in blank] do
           that?




   … and more and faster?
So what? Does [fill in blank] do
           that?




   … and more and faster?
BHL is all about OPEN
Remind me
again why?
An inordinate fondness for data
Access
Putting biodiversity
literature in the hands
of researchers
Set the data free
Suck it; mash it;
broadcast it
Increase
Reuse, recyle, expand
Global BHL
Based on open access

Open content

Collaboration

Shared development
Uh, so what's it mean
to me?
1.9 million known
species … most
described once in a
hard to find article …
wouldn't it be nice to
know more about
your neighbors ...
And thanks to ...
Thanks for sticking around!
