* The application of the Zwolle Principles to Open Access repository and journal content by Fred Friend

This paper of Fred Friend explores the application of the Zwolle Principles to the open access model, without entering into the question of whether the model is desirable or feasible. Open access repositories and journals are a reality and their copyright policies should be considered in the interests of maintaining scholarship of high quality.
The paper concludes that good rights management procedures are as important for open access content as they are for purchased content. The purpose of the procedures is not to hinder the legitimate use of the open access content but to protect the legitimate interests of stakeholders. Licences and clear copyright and other rights statements are the key tools in the implementation of the Zwolle Principles in relation to open access content.
