Providing access to information is a fundamentally creative act.
About me: I’m a UK-based librarian and writer whose work explores how knowledge is organized, governed, and made available. My interests include equal access to information and the open knowledge movement, fair use and fair dealing, scholarly search, and the history of library and publishing innovation. Alongside my writing, I work leading open policy development at a major university press, where I think about open access as both critical infrastructure and an ongoing process of thoughtful choices and designs that shape what scholarship can reach the world. I’m always happy to connect with librarians, publishers, writers, and other people who are thinking about and working on these things, too.
