{{Grant Application
|Project Title=BiDi en Iberoamèrica
|applicants=Fundaciòn Karisma, Carolina Botero,
|contact person=Carolina Botero
|coordinator=Carolina Botero
|start date=2010/08/01
|end date=2011/07/31
|Affiliation=NA
|Mainurl=www.karisma.org.co
|Affiliated=No
|description=Considering the growing role of digital libraries in the dissemination of knowledge, it is important to support them by increasing their access to knowledge and thus facilitate the construction of a more equitative society within a legal framework.

Those interested in creating digital libraries would find
support materials on copyright issues for the digital environment, especially regarding Creative Commons licenses. The site will host successful case studies of similar projects within the concept of open access.
|output=The site will be available online through wordpess platform in which content will be integrated.

The site will document best practices, tools for the use of licenses, recommendations, links to related institutions developing similar programs, etc.

The site itself will be the base of the final report.
|community=The project is aimed at general information managers, librarians and researchers interested in digital libraries, copyright, and open access to knowledge, and especially in using Creative Commons licenses as a tool to address these issues.

Digital library projects are addressed without considering copyright issues by many of these institutions, while most of the material included is tagged "all rights reserved" often imposing a legal framework that reduces the library´s options for free access.
|community relationship=Karisma is a foundation that works with a vision of what "free" and "open" mean. Karisma supports this kind of approach by actively participating in socio-technológical projects such as the FLOSS community and Creative Commons in Colombia, particularly in the educational sector. Karisma is an affiliate institution of CC in Colombia and CC Co-leader Carolina Botero will coordinate the project.
|measurement=Via statistical data, direct contact and social media data. We will gather and process information in order to estimate the impact on the different contributors and participants
|participants=At least 3 of the foundation staff will work partially on the project during this fist stage of the launch. In any case the site will become part of the Foundation´s projects afterwards and the foundation will provide the continuity

|impact=Digital Library projects are increasing in Latin America and not many of them include the copyright discussion, the notion of open access, and the role of the open licenses

We believe that sites such as the one that we propose will bring visibility to successful projects, provide reliable and robust tools for open access implementation, and the ability to collect in one place such experiences through Creative Commons licenses in the Spanish-speaking context

It is a useful tool to increase multiplier brand recognition for the licenses in asociation with these specific topics.
|tech needs=The project will use Web 2.0 technologies taking advantage of he possible interaction between the content creator and interested users without specific and complicated technical skills
|challenges=One of the main challenges is to switch the attention of libraries from the control that copyright provides to the option provided by open access, by looking at the legal tools available. Our approach will be to provide contextual information, highlighting free access to information and knowledge on the Web.

|sustainability=Karisma will sustain the platform after the launch while promoting its use by related communities and contribution via web 2.0 and social media tools.
Significantly, all resources and content will be "free" and "open" therefore decreasing the need for major finantial support afther the fist stage of launching.
|scalability=As institutions that are developing digital libraries know about the project we expect to develop a dynamic site and community that will grow from viral dynamics

The project will be promoted through social networks specialized in the field of librarianship, such as http://estudiantesdelainformacion.ning.com/ .

|resource needs=Contributions may be essentially two: the first is financial, in order to enable the project startup (design, content, etc). The second is to take advantage of the good name and network of Creative Commas to publicize the project with other institutions in order to expand its scope.
|communication=Currently the communication channels are:

* E-mail
* Website
* Academic Events
* Social Networks
|budget=BiDi Iberoamerica.xls
|free text=Page hosting and other related costs will be provided by the Foundation
|legal=Yes
