What is Open Access?

Open Acess 

A publication is defined 'open access' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it - that is to say when anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search for and search within the information, or use it in education or in any other way within the legal agreements. 1

What is Public Domain?

The Basics

An item might be in the public domain in the U.S. if:

  • It was published before 1926. (Note that published in this context means “copied and distributed beyond a small group of people.” This means flyers, brochures, etc. are usually considered “published.”)

  • It was published from 1926-1977 but there is no © symbol or statement printed on the item.

  • It was created before 1901 by an anonymous creator but never published.

  • The item was unpublished (e.g., a family snapshot) and the creator died before 1951.

  • The item was created by the Federal government or Florida government employees.1
