Copyright and Open Access: The Future of Publishing Frankfurt Book Fair has grown into an event that encompasses so much about the publishing industry, with special events focused on self-publishing and six different exhibit halls dedicated to various aspects of digital publishing. But what once was known to be simply a rights fair still serves as a hub of copyright issue, as evidenced by the Copyright Clearance Center’s panel, “Open Access: The Force Remaking Publishing.” Good e-Reader covered the event live, then sat down with CCC’s Christopher Kenneally, Director of Business Development, to talk about why open access—specifically in research and scholarly publishing—is such a vital force in publishing. “The idea that a government would have a relationship with publishing is one that’s pretty well accepted around the world, except in the United States,” Kenneally explained of the panel. “Even in the UK, it has a relationship. People marvel at the extensiveness of this whole conference, but you can’t tell me that German taxpayer euros aren’t heavily invested in this. They have decided that it’s a better policy to support [publishers] and what they do.” goodereader/blog/e-book-news/copyright-and-open-access-the-future-of-publishing
