This report (22 page PDF) surveys experts in the Galleries, Libraries and Museums (GLAM) community to identify barriers to providing open access to resources in the sector. As the summary suggests, the major barriers are access to money and resources, the need for appropriate knowledge and skills along with apprehensions and risk aversion, and policy challenges including copyright law. Not surprisingly, the report is written in a tone that favours open access, though with recognition about the potential for commercial use and sensitivity to cultural and indigenous artifacts.
