Webinar I gave to librarians across the state of New York part of NY3R (http://www.ny3rs.org/). Recording from 2 May 2014: http://rrlc.adobeconnect.com/p3wrr1dlws0/. Abstract: Creative Commons are a librarian's best friend when it comes to explaining copyright, pointing others to free academic and educational resources, and highlighting reuse and attribution best practices. Learn about Creative Commons -- the organization and its mission; its copyright licenses; its public domain tools, especially CC0 (read CC Zero); how to discover, find and attribute CC-licensed content; and how to license your own content with a CC license. We will also go over a few of the major organizations and institutions who have adopted CC licensing.

5. We make sharing content easy,
legal, and scalable.
What do we do?

6. All Rights Reserved

7. A set of exclusive rights granted to
creators of
‘original works of authorship’

9.  Automatic
✓ All Rights Reserved
✓ Lasts a very long time
✓ Keeps getting extended

10. The problem:
Traditional © designed for old
distribution models now governs
the Internet

11. In a digital world, most everyone
is a creator of copyrighted
content.

12. Technically,
it’s so easy to share!

13. Legally?
Not so easy.

14. $750-$150,000 per copyright
infringement

17. With Creative Commons,
creators can grant copy and
reuse permissions in advance.

18. Free legal tools that express
these permissions for you.
How do we do it?

19.  Origins in Copyright
 CC Licenses & Tools
 CC + Libraries
 School of Open

23. All CC licenses are
combinations of 4
elements:

24. CC licenses are unique because they
are expressed in three ways.

MY rights to a work.

35. PD Mark =
For works already in the public
domain.

40. creativecommons.org/publicdomain

41. 74 jurisdictions

42. 500 million works

Some things to remember

56. Best Practice Example:
You have assembled a textbook consisting of
OER from various sources. Here’s what a
credits page at the end of that textbook might
look like.
