CC‐BY: Is There Such a Thing as Too Open in Open Access?

What is it about?

Scholars have voiced concern that CC-BY may not be the best license for all disciplines. Libraries, as OA publishers, custodians of institutional repositories, facilitators of scholarly research, and organizers of information, are well positioned to enhance a discussion on balancing the needs of scholars for minimum control over their work with the goal of OA publishing to most widely disseminate information and scholarship to the public without barriers of country, class, access or financing.
