DESCRIPTION
Slides from an open presentation given to the University of Auckland on 23 October, as part of Open Access Week 2013.TRANSCRIPT
Let’s begin with the obvious:The Situation Today
1. The internet and digital technologies enable greater distribution and
reuse of research
2. Most publicly funded research cannot be accessed and reused by
the public
3. Libraries are struggling. From 1986-2007, subscription charges
increased by 340%, four times the rate of inflation
4. Higher education is struggling to make the case for more public
funding
5. Open Access has emerged as the most realistic way to justify public
expenditure on research
Open Access policies from public funding bodies in all major English-
speaking countries + EU
(but not New Zealand, yet)

Also, without open licensing, your (publicly funded) work may not enter the
commons for over 100 years (...)
…which makes life very hard for libraries and archives who want to give
your work a second life.

But wait, what’s an ‘open licence’ anyway?
