Have you ever found an image or text online and thought that you'd love to use it in your own poster / website / presentation / signage, but you're not sure if you can? Ever wonder why some things are freely available online while other things get taken down because of some sort of copyright issue? Creative Commons (CC) is a global nonprofit organization that makes copyright and open sharing more clear. We provide a suite of legal tools to help creators and users understand, at a glance, what they can and cannot do with creative content. In this session, learn more about the work we do with libraries, museums, and research and education institutions to help them not only manage their own content and collections but also to help their patrons understand the ins and outs of intellectual property (IP). By the end of this session, you'll know more about the professional development, training, and consulting options that CC makes available and where to go for additional information.
