Open Licensing for Cultural Heritage is as impressively informative as it is exceptionally well written, organized and presented. Unreservedly recommended as an essential, exceptional, indispensable, core addition to community, governmental, and academic Library Science collections, Open Licensing for Cultural Heritage is a necessary and invaluable instructional reference. -- Micah Andrew * MBR Bookwatch * This book will be of value to any institutions considering making their collections available digitally. The background and context information is largely clearly relevant, concise and sufficient. The book is very readable throughout. It will also be suitable for students studying courses in library and moveable cultural heritage management. Indeed I have recommended the book to my own students. -- Adrienne Muir * Journal of Cultural Heritage * 'I recommend Open Licensing for Cultural Heritage to cultural institutions who are looking for a way to make their digital content accessible to a broader audience, thus bringing them not only the visibility that comes with openness, but also to initiate them as new stakeholders that support such endeavors.'- Anastasia Weigle, Maine Archives and Museums Quarterly -- Anastasia Weigle * Maine Archives and Museums Quarterly * 'In their excellent guide Open Licensing for Cultural Heritage, Gill Hamilton and Fred Saunderson explain, advocate, and show howto implement open intellectual property (IP) licensing within the heritage sector. Their use of enlightening case studies, authored by other experts in the sector, is especially impactful. These real-life storiesperhaps the core of the bookhelp explain why it is not always possible to be as open as we might like, why openness takes time and resource, and how risk needs to be mitigated. Nevertheless, Hamiltons and Saundersons personable, persuasive, and enthusiastic tone extends unswayed to the final, practical chapters.'- Bernard Horrocks, Tate Gallery, London, UK * Archives and Records * 'Open Licensing for Cultural Heritage is a rich, beautifully researched and thought-provoking addition to the body of IP literature for the heritage sector... Hamilton and Saunderson address this with great sensitivity and thought, making this an instructive as well as inspiring volume.' -- Bernard Horrocks * Taylor & Francis Online *
