This source covers the issue of pricing in libraries. In my opinion, prices have increased “intolerably”. Pricing does limit access to information. This article details all the barriers to information and how OA can help eliminate those barriers.

This source was important in understanding the importance of peer-review in OA journals. It’s a good overview and would be a good resource for faculty.

This interview was fascinating to me because I use PLOS One with students all the time and to see the timeline from when this resource was in its infancy was important in understanding that Creative Commons is a grassroots effort and that it isn’t just for fun or fan art, but careers are depending on the visibility and legitimacy of these journals. Michael Eisen even says that where people publish determines how successful they will be in their careers and that OA journals have to stand up to traditional journals in impact or no one will use them to publish.

http://blogs.ubc.ca/chendricks/2018/09/15/remixes-collections-cc/ This additional resource was very helpful in demonstrating the difference between remixes and collections from someone who had gone through the course before. The sample of the remix was inspiring.

This section was very useful to me while completing my assignment for unit 4, especially the section of “tips for a clear and informative notice” while marking my collection. It helped me to include clear instructions for the use of each item in the collection.

These are some additional resources for that both clarified the CC license as well as demonstrated how it can be used.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses

These two Wikipedia pages were eye opening for me because I never imagined there could be so many licenses. The table in the second page is mind-boggling. The WTFPL is the most hilariously named by far and it essentially commits the software into the public domain but it’s making a statement with the license. It’s the ultimate vanity plate.

This includes a summary, a helpful video and a quiz all in one place. I wanted to test my knowledge before doing my assignment.

This is one of the best infographics that I have seen on the topic. It is very simple to understand.

Non-North American Source: https://www.australiaunlimited.com/creative-commons This is was interesting because the content on the website is licensed under a CC license with a few exceptions and I wasn’t aware that this could be an option.

This resource is important because I think one should know the major “players” and be able t hear their voices. Where I think Lessig is looking toward the past with his piece on the trial, Wiley is looking to the future. I also like how someone asked him to make a blog post as sort of a lamp post to illuminate his thoughts on the matter. Too often, people dismiss user generated content like YouTube videos and blog posts as not being authoritative when these are only platforms and the author is what makes it authoritative.

These are some additional resources that were helpful to me in this unit:

http://www.oercommons.org/courses/copyright-crash-course/view

• This was a great crash course, very general information. I found the TEACH Act Checklist to be very helpful.

Non-North American Resources: https://vula.uct.ac.za/access/content/group/ecbd8ec1-9009-4d91-bbe5-4874517efb5c/Copyright%20OER/Flash/Main.html

• You’ll have to make sure Adobe Flash Player is installed for this one, but it’s worthwhile.

http://www.infotoday.com/it/apr19/Aycock--Weird-Things-People-Have-Tried-to-Copyright.shtml

• This article was helpful for my Unit 2 Assignment because I was researching choreography which can be tricky.

Non-North American Sources: https://iclg.com/practice-areas/copyright-laws-and-regulations/china

• This article was helpful to learn about copyright laws in China.

Non-North American Sources: https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/marketing/brand-protection/intellectual-property.html (FIFA’s head office is in Switzerland)

• This was an interesting article from FIFA (we’re all in soccer mode) and I find it fascinating because they are truly an international organization.

Non-North American Sources: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ Information on the Open Government License

• The UK has something called an Open Government license and it was interesting to learn about different options in different countries.

I hope everyone enjoys my additions to the list. Thank you!

This is a comic about a very busty heroine seraching for information about the public domain. Although I did roll my eyes at the male gaze-ish ness (don’t @ me) I thought it was great that it was translated into so many different languages. I also thought it was fitting that the person in search of information and understanding is cast as the hero. I think too often we think we’re supposed to know everything and feel anxiety when we need to learn something know, but in reality, we need to embrace learning because no one can know everything.

I had to search for this on YouTube because the website is glitchy. I honestly could not get through it. I think there are simpler videos that accomplish the same goal and I just don't have the patience to watch Disney clips. It's still impressive that someone could put that together and it really is a true example of fair use but it's very tedious.

A resource that has been really helpful to me is the Stanford "Fairly Used" Twitter account because it updates and I can keep up with current issues. https://tinyurl.com/yyq47w2h

I stumbled n the Twitter account while reading this Fair Use Overview: https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/

It was very helpful to me for understanding how CC was different from fair use.

Lessig has many TED talks but the two I found most useful as an indroduction or overview to the major concepts I was preparing to learn wre these:

Lessig’s TED Talk: https://youtu.be/7Q25-S7jzgs

https://youtu.be/FhTUzNKpfio (Best part 8 min in)

I also found this resource helpful for writing annotations: https://guides.libraries.uc.edu/c.php?g=598564&p=4143747

I hope everyone finds these as helpful as I found them to be!

This almost sounded like click-bait when I first read the title, like a top ten list, but this goes along with the Bollier piece about being a mind-shift. It really is concrete guidelines about how to grow a community of resources. The first step is the most important, in my opinion. Boundaries and maintenance are critical in pretty much everything. On the surface these may seem simple, but it’s not very hard to make the simple into something complicated, but it’s very difficult to make the complicated into something simple.

This is a shorter resource but it’s packed with lightbulb moments. I really wore out my highlighter on this one. The concept of “common-ing” as a verb was a total lightbulb for me. The statement about market enclosure being about dispossession was something I ruminated on for a while. I recommend that everyone read this first if you need a framework or a schema to put all of this new knowledge into. It’s about generating cultural wealth, which I never thought of the public domain and CC licensed resources as a body of wealth but it’s so true.

This source is a recounting of the court case by Lawrence Lessig and was very valuable to me because it is a first-person account of the case from his viewpoint. I was able to gather his thoughts and feelings on each step of the case from his narrative. You can also see how this case shaped his work. I think this is a very worthwhile read to understand Lessig as a person. His dejection at the ruling was almost palpable for me, but he overcame his perceived failure and refused to stop working on something he valued. I think this resource is integral to an empathetic understanding of him.
