1. Free Licences
2. Projects
First point:It’s becoming much easier to
access New Zealand’s cultural heritage
Second point:The technical barriers to access
and reuse are dropping
Third point:This means you can't predict who
will do exciting things with your work

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

Claude-Joseph Vernet (French, 1714 - 1789)A Calm at a Mediterranean Port, 1770, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

Sixth point:Usage rights statements are often
vague, overly restrictive & not standardised across the sector
Seventh point:Many heritage institutions feel
tension between kaitiaki and 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.
