Open Access Brown Bag: Open Access, Copyright, and Repositories
This Event is for librarians and their faculty guest
When: Wednesday, Oct. 26th from 12:00 - 1:00
Where: Firestone Library, A-Floor Electronic Classroom (A-6-F)
Speaker: Kyle Courtney, Copyright Advisor, Office for Scholarly Communication, Harvard University Library
A robust open access policy often has perceived challenges from ancillary topics such as copyright, contracts, and licensing. There are many subtle areas where confusion, myth, and misinformation can prevent a library (and/or an open access policy) from fulfilling their core mission. Some of this misinformation is based on myths surrounding copyright and open access, some is based on differences in the legal systems (UK and US law, for example), and some are language based - the language of the law, the language of libraries, and the language of the publishers. This brown bag session will review some of these issues, give an overview of copyright's interaction with an open access policy, compare US and UK Laws surrounding open access, and look to find solutions through audience participation and interaction.
