<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,<br>I won't be able to make it to LIP, but I want to share this article on open-access which made me reconsider some of my assumptions about its promised benefits. Not exactly relevant to 'intimate fieldwork' but well worth a read:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-family:Arial">While the
debate over open access to journal articles and other scholarly publications is
a <a href="http://aoasg.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/cc-by_logo.png?w=625&h=468" target="_blank">no-brainer</a></span><span style="font-family:Arial">, increasing pressure to make fieldwork recordings open-access sometimes puts fieldworkers in an uncomfortable position. The desire for more naturalistic data means that many linguists want to
record more than just tellings of myths, word lists and elicited sentences.
Increasingly they are interested in recording informal interactions between
intimates: family members and close friends. There are a number of reasons
that linguists might not want to make their entire collection of recordings open access. This may be due
to lack of anonymity and the informal, unguarded nature of the recordings
(Travis and Cacoullos 2013), or that the topic of the research was gossip (Haviland 1977). It may also be that the sheer volume of data, and number
of participants in a collection makes it very time-consuming to go back check permissions for all
recordings. In this session we will discuss some of the ways of restricting access to sensitive recordings, while making the remainder open access.</span></p>
