MIT Reader Stories

“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

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What 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

Add Creative Commons option to donor/deposit agreements.

Third:Works for which institution holds

copyright: use CC licensing

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.
