In other words, the Bank is treating OA as more than just a tool to
enable faster and more effective knowledge transfer and exchange, but
a component part of a platform intended to create democratic,
bottom-up, multi-pronged solutions to the many challenges confronting
not just the developing world, but mankind at large — e.g. climate
change.
The Modernisation Agenda is also an acknowledgement that both
knowledge creation and economic power are beginning to shift, and to
disperse. As Zoellick put it in 2010, “The flow of knowledge is no
longer North to South, West to East, rich to poor.”
It is no longer a one-way process, but one that moves in both
directions. The Bank also views it as a democratisation — for it
implies a process in which knowledge and creativity move seamlessly
between the developed world and the developing world, and also between
organisations and individuals. And it does this in a more
decentralised manner.

Tuesday, April 10, 2012World Bank to Introduce Open Access Policy
The World Bank has announced today that it is introducing an Open
Access (OA) policy. This will mandate that World Bank research outputs
and knowledge products are deposited in a newly-created institutional
repository called the Open Knowledge Repository (OKR), which will be
freely accessible on the Internet.
In addition, the Bank will become the first major international
organisation to make much of its research output available under
Creative Commons licensing. As a result, any user in the world will be
able to read, download, save, copy, print, reuse and link to the full
text of the World Bank’s work, free of charge.
The new policy — effective July 1st — will cover monographs (i.e.,
books, reports, etc.), externally-published sections or chapters of
books written by Bank staff, working papers, journal articles,
economic and sector work, plus associated datasets.

En fråga man kan ställa är hur kommer biblioteken att agera. Kommer
skrifterna att
bli synliga i lokala kataloger eller i den nationella katalogen? Finns
det några bland
KB:s hundra externa experter som bryr sig om förvärv av fria
publikationer? Sannolikt
inte.
I många år nu finns det mesta från EU fritt tillgängligt men i våra
kataloger registreras
fortfarande mest bara papperspublikationerna.
Vi kommer sannolikt att få vänta ytterligare något årtionde innan den
här typen av
material från dom stora internationella organisationerna görs
tillgängliga för våra användare,
för utvecklingen hittills har gått mycket långsamt.
Nationellt borde åtminstone LIBRIS kunna importera poster via WorldCat
och på så sätt
underlätta import till lokala kataloger.
