"Though Open Access publication and Creative Commons licensing were not mentioned as issues by the people who participated in the DICE survey, several replies deal with germane issues: see cases THETA-MU in the "Per cominciare..." section of the handbook. The concern about protection expressed in THETA, IOTA and KAPPA is answered in Chapter B [check "B" in final version - calmansi calmansi just now] of this handbook: works such as those mentioned in these replies are automatically protected by copyright law once they have been expressed, and this protection also obtains for works expressed in digital form, and offered online. Open Access publishing and of Creative Commons licensing are particular uses of copyright law. As we shall see in what follows, they can help towards the communal sharing wished for by the author of LAMBDA, and the literature about their implementation can be of use in solving the conundrums of third parties' rights evoked by the author of MU. Open Access The main Swiss higher education authorities have signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access. This is a great progress for research. It also means that all publications by teachers and researchers - and all theses by students - of Swiss academic and higher education institutions must be made available in Open Access repositories, following the rules stated in by the Berlin Declaration: 1. The author(s) and right holder(s) of such contributions grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship (community standards, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now), as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use. 2. A complete

CC licences (and the relevant metadata) attach to a work and authorise everyone who comes into contact with it to use it in the way that has been described. So for example if user Y has a copy of creator X's CC licensed work, Y can give a copy to Z and Z will also be authorised to use the work consistent with the licence. Creator X then has a licence agreement with both Y and Z. From a curation perspective this has great advantages for widened participation in and access to digital materials.

Check out the digital copyright slider. The tool itself is pretty simple. You basically slide the arrow up and down the years starting from "Before 1923″. The boxes on the left (Permission Needed? and Copyright Status/Term) tell you whether a work is still copyrighted or whether it's now in the public domain, free for you to use and repurpose any way you like. Unfortunately, actually figuring out the copyright status of a work isn't so simple as dragging your mouse-most of the years seem to be marked by a fuzzy period of "Maybe".

"Commoner Letters is a series of letters written by prominent members of the CC community and sent out during our annual fundraising campaign. These exceptional "commoners" write about their past and present projects that involve CC, what CC means to them, why they feel the commons is a vital public resource in our digital age, and where they think CC is headed in the future."

"Empfehlungen der SAGW an ihre Mitgliedgesellschaften für die Umsetzung von Open Access Die SAGW unterstützt die Umsetzung von Open Access. Sie empfiehlt ihren Mitgliedgesellschaften und den in ihrem Kreis organisierten Forschenden, ihre Publikationen frei zugänglich zu machen. Zu diesem Zweck informiert Sie die Akademie an dieser Stelle über verschiedene Aspekte zu Open Access. Zahlreiche Universitäten verlangen heute, dass deren Angehörige publizierte Artikel auch auf den universitätseigenen Respositorien hinterlegen. Deshalb verfolgt die SAGW das Ziel, dass alle AutorInnen von Periodika, die von der Akademie subventioniert werden, das Recht haben, ihre Artikel Open Access zu publizieren. Sie ersucht deshalb ihre Gesellschaften, bei den Verlagen die entsprechenden Rechte für ihre AutorInnen einzuholen. Individuelle Informationen geben gerne die Sektionsverantwortlichen sowie Martine Stoffel.

"...If rights remain as tightly controlled and as expensive as they are now, nonfiction will be the province of the entirely new or the overly familiar. Dazzling books with newly created art, text and multimedia will far outnumber works filled with historical materials. Only a few well-heeled companies will have the wherewithal to create gee-whiz multimedia book-like products that require permissions, and these projects will most likely focus on highly popular subjects. History's outsiders and untold stories will be left behind. We treat copyrights as individual possessions, jewels that exist entirely by themselves. I'm obviously sympathetic to that point of view. But source material also takes on another life when it's repurposed. It becomes part of the flow, the narration, the interweaving of text and art in books and e-books. It's essential that we take this into account as we re-imagine permissions in a digital age. When we have a new model for permissions, we will have new media. Then all of us - authors, readers, new-media innovators, rights holders - will really see the stories that words and images can tell. "
