Video: Timo Hannay on CC-based science publishing

In case you missed it over at Open Access
News<http://www.earlham.edu/%7Epeters/fos/2008/07/publisher-business-models-using-cc.html>,
there's a new 3-part video
documentary<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7018138206968267827&hl=en>on
publishing open content using Creative Commons licenses. Part two (<
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGVH2lNfKwY>) is an
interview<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGVH2lNfKwY>with
*Nature'*s Timo Hannay — an especially interesting bit in light of the recent
discussions<http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2008/07/on_the_nature_of_plos.php>about
business models for sustainable open
access <http://www.earlham.edu/%7Epeters/fos/overview.htm> (OA) publishing.

If there's anything that the interview makes clear, it's that scientific
publishing is undergoing a profound transformation, and people in OA are
confronting its most difficult challenges head-on. They're freeing science
while providing us with valuable lessons about the kinds of publishing
models that can work in the digital era — a boon on both counts.
