“open access”—what does it mean?
• Fairly generic term with different definitions in different contexts
• OER, open source, free• Opposite of proprietary or fee-based content

Free ≠ open access
Free: anything you can find on the www
Open access: anything you can find on the www that is not copyright restricted
