*Many people disregard licensing statements and utilise online content as
they please, but the growing focus on open sharing and pressures around
application of scholarly outputs outside of the academic sector mean that
increased attention is being paid to legal sharing mechanisms.* It is hoped
that this guide will be a useful resource for academics who wish to educate
themselves on this important topic. Although it is generated within the UCT
context, the information contained therein is applicable to scholars
anywhere in the world and can be adapted for local context. *The guide is
