Justification
Justification outlines the risks of using Open GLAM as a Metaphor and sets out key points the GLAM ecosystem must work towards when Building Copyright Consensus. To support this work, Clarifying “Open” recommends centering users in policies to help clarify reuse parameters, and breaks down how to work with (appropriate) licenses, tools, and labels. It also demonstrates why we need a more critical approach to open GLAM in Power Inequities.
Pubs in this theme will be helpful for GLAMs implementing or maintaining open access programs and applying licenses, tools, and labels to reproduction media.
