Prompted by the an (author) tweet on a new openaccess paper from CUP I went to http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8966489 .
I have no idea whether this was APC-paid, but’s it’s “Open Access” under the CC-BY-NC-SA licence (i.e. non-commercial). The PDF is similarly labelled.
Can I use it for teaching? I follow the Request permissions:
So Cambridge University (of which CUP is an integral part) charge lecturers to re-use Open Access material.
But why is it left to me to highlight this inequity? The University libraries have an interest in making materials available for teaching, don’t they? They should already have noted the problem and challenged it. They have to show they take this seriously
