[Libs-Or] Copyright and Creative Commons: Publishing with open licenses

[Boock, Michael]

Greetings!


Please consider joining us at any of the three OSU Libraries for refreshments and an in-depth discussion of “Copyright and Creative Commons: Publishing with open licenses<https://librarypublishing.org/creative-commons-webinar/>,” a webinar with Meredith Jacob, Public Lead for Creative Commons USA Tuesday January 30th, 2018 10-11pm PST at Autzen Classroom (Valley Library--Corvallis), Room 109 (Tykeson Hall--Bend), or the Lavern Weber Room (Guin Library--Newport)


Publishing under an open license can have significant benefits for researchers, educators, and students – as well as boosting innovation and improving access to knowledge – but navigating copyright, fair use, and licensing isn’t easy. Creative Commons licenses are designed to help simplify the process, but they operate in this complex environment. In this webinar, you will learn how to apply different Creative Commons licenses in the publishing context, and delve into questions such as what “non-commercial” means, how to handle 3rd party copyrighted content in a CC licensed work, and what attribution is all about in the CC context. This webinar will include a brief overview of general best practices for open licensing, and will allow time for Q & A around common concerns and obstacles.

As Public Lead for Creative Commons USA, Meredith Jacob<https://creativecommonsusa.org/index.php/staff/> maintains the core legal guidance around Creative Commons licenses.

Thanks,
Michael
