[OpenGLAM] cost benefit analysis of open digital content

Mon Oct 7 20:27:49 UTC 2013

Hi there,

I'm wondering if any of you have come across anything regarding the cost benefit of opening up digital content? In other words, I'm curious about just how much organization make off of charging for high res files, for example, versus the accounting, general overhead, rescanning, and so forth that is required? Which is not to mention any of the barriers to use charging fees such as this imposes.
