The Problem: Constraints Placed by Publishers On authors’ rights to share and reuse materials On access, despite promise of the Web for inexpensive, broad distribution Constraints can be imposed on authors because of terms of author publication license and/or copyright transfer agreements

Copyright Transfer COPYRIGHT is a bundle of rights: Reproduce / copy Prepare adaptations/ Derivative Works Distribute Display/perform publicly Copyright or License agreement transfers copyright(s) to publisher; controls author’s future uses “..you assign to us…all rights of copyright and related rights..”

1. Read 1 or more publisher agreements & consider these questions: Who owns the work after you sign? Can you put your article up on your website or other websites after you sign? Can you send a copy to a colleague? Can you write a longer (or translated) version and publish it, or put it in your talk? Can you use it as course reading? For an on-campus course? For DartmouthX? 2. What tools would you use to determine what rights the publisher returns to you? 3. What tools would you use to make changes to the default agreement? Your turn!
17
Reflection What did you learn from reading the contracts? What might account for differences among publishers? What questions do you have? Other thoughts?
