Open Access Week: Community over commercialisation - What is community control and why does it matter? - Library

Course description

Different communities have different needs, aims and priorities about the knowledge they hold and create. There can be a tension between open access and community control of that knowledge. How do communities keep control of their knowledge while opening it to the world? How can open access be used to help build and strengthen communities?

This session looks at the ways communities openly share their knowledge. It also explores how sometimes community and commercial interests can coexist.
