This webinar was a platform to have an open discussion about Open Access and its relationship to income generation for picture libraries, agencies, and archives with cultural heritage image content.

We answered questions such as:

  • What is Open Access?
  • What different types of Open Access are there?
  • Can anyone use Open Access material, including for commercial use?
  • Is Open Access a sustainable policy to deliver access without cost?
  • Can revenue streams from licensing image content be maintained under an Open Access framework?
  • When does Creative Commons apply, and does it use the same principles?
  • Are there technological solutions that support image content uploaded to websites?
