Abstract
Cultural institutions are vital stewards of public domain works and artefacts, billions of which have now been digitised and placed online. Yet few institutions release this content for free and unrestricted reuse. Why? In this talk, Douglas will illuminate this complex landscape and show how open access can unlock opportunities for GLAMs to fulfil their missions.
