      Description

Copyright. It's one of the thorniest and most frustrating issues facing 
libraries in the world of easily reusable media. This workshop will 
explore the Creative Commons, an alternative to full copyright. You'll 
learn what the Creative Commons is and the various licenses associated 
with it, how to find material licensed under the Creative Commons and 
incorporate it into your own projects, and how and why to license your 
own creative works under a Creative Commons license.

This hands-on workshop is open to all interested librarians and library
