Copyright Notice

The Journal of Library Innovation is an open access journal. Authors retain
the copyright to their work under the terms of the following Creative
Commons license: Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 (United
States) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/.<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/>

All authors will be required to sign a License to Publish prior to
publication.
NC is not BOAI-compliant
ND is not-BOAI-compliant

This licence would not be acceptable to a large number of funders (RCUK,
Wellcome, ESF, NIH, etc.)

For this reason it is important that we stop using arbitrary words and
start using precise terms. If this is a "platinum" journal then I am not in
favour of this term.
