This document discusses issues around open access to information and intellectual property. It begins by distinguishing between open versus free dissemination of content and addresses the confusion this causes. Examples are given of how blog posts and figures can be shared without proper attribution. The document then discusses how content travels online from one site to another. Issues around who owns the rights to 3D printed designs and creations are raised. The document proposes some solutions like creating expanded citation guides and linking to university copyright policies. It encourages assigning digital object identifiers to scholarly blogs and use of Creative Commons to provide persistence and proper attribution as scholarship moves beyond traditional formats. The document concludes by inviting questions.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Talk about Merediths blog & Bethany Nowviskis blog and why we cannot say free or even freely available http://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpress/2015/03/18/read-your-contract-being-oa-isnt-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-258181 http://nowviskie.org/2011/why-oh-why-cc-by/
- #4: As much confusion exists for articles, ejournals, & ebooks, the confusion is multiplied when the scholarly content is more granular such as a blog post, a data, set, a figure, a social media interaction, or streamed content.
- #5: A master's thesis from the University of Gent in Belgium that has cited two of published articles by the author of this blog and also included a reading list from the blog. The creator was asking whether the blog post should have been cited or given credit for her research in pulling together the reading list. Responses form the electronic discussion list felt that using the book list was not plagiarism or even academic dishonesty but rather but the best practice would have been to cite where the book list originated in the bibliography and not just a mention in the students methodology section.
- #6: At the initial creation, the web site carried CC-BY but not this figure. The authors readily admit this is a derivative work created off of other similar evidence based graphics. There were numerous figures created for this web site but this one in particular became popular. For use in books, the authors were contacted for the ability to re-use the figure. However, a Google image search quickly provides how this figure gained traction.
- #7: Explain the website and the two youtubes, especially the second one and where it is a credit course offered by the State of New York.
