Navigating 21st Century Digital Scholarship: OERs, Creative Commons, Copyrigh...NASIG
Digital scholarship issues are increasingly prevalent in today’s environment. We are faced with questions of how to protect our own works as well as others’ with responsible attribution and usage, sometimes involving a formal agreement. These may come in the form of Creative Commons Licensing, provisions of US Copyright, or terms of use outlined by contractual agreements with library vendors. Librarians at Eastern Carolina University and Kansas State University are among several university libraries now providing services to assist navigating these sometimes legalistic frameworks. East Carolina University Libraries are taking initiatives to familiarize faculty, researchers, and students with Open Educational Resources. Librarians identified a need to have pertinent understanding of the Creative Commons license and how it is used to protect created works that can be shared, modified and reused. At Kansas State, librarians identified the overlap of their subject matters through their correspondence regarding users’ copyright and licensing questions; a partnership formed, and they implemented a proactive and public-facing approach to better meet user needs and liability concerns at a research university.
NASIG audience members will learn how to:
- Find and identify Creative Commons licensed materials
- Modify and cite Creative Commons works
- Obtain a Creative Commons license
- Provide copyright literacy education to their campus communities through outreach and online copyright learning resources
- Present vendor license terms and best practices for the everyday user’s understanding and search process

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

17. When I use the creative work of others in my own
work, which concepts apply to my situation?
Attribution: Citing your sources
Public Domain: Materials available
for anyone to use freely
Fair Use: Using copyrighted works
without permission or payment
under some conditions
Licensing: Asking permission and
paying a fee
19. Criticism, comment,
news reporting,
teaching, scholarship,
research
… but also many forms
of creative work that
advance and spread
innovation
--Section 107
Copyright Act of 1976
20. Fair use of copyrighted
Fair use prevents
materials is allowed when the
copyright law from becoming
benefits to society
a form of
outweigh the private costs
private censorship
to the copyright holder
--Section 107
Copyright Act of 1976
22. An Example of Transformative Use
The purpose of the original:
To generate publicity for a
concert.
The purpose of the new
work: To document and
illustrate the concert
events in historical
context.
23. Transformative Use is Fair Use
When a user of copyrighted materials adds
value to, or repurposes materials for a use
different from that for which it was
originally intended, it will likely be
considered transformative use; it will also
likely be considered fair use. Fair use
embraces the modifying of existing media
content, placing it in new context.
--Joyce Valenza, School Library Journal
25. 1. Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from
the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose
than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for
the same intent and value as the original?
2. Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount,
considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the
use?
26. MYTH:
FAIR USE IS TOO UNCLEAR AND COMPLICATED FOR ME; IT’S BETTER
LEFT TO LAWYERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.
TRUTH: The fair use provision of
the Copyright Act is written
broadly because it is designed to
apply to a wide range of creative
works and the people who use
them. Fair use is a part of the law
that belongs to everyone.
28. The Code of Best Practices Helps
• To educate educators themselves about how fair
use applies to their work
• To persuade gatekeepers, including school
leaders, librarians, and publishers, to accept well-
founded assertions of fair use
• To promote revisions to school policies regarding
the use of copyrighted materials that are used in
education
• To discourage copyright owners from threatening
or bringing lawsuits
• In the unlikely event that such suits were brought,
to provide the defendant with a basis on which to
show that her or his uses were both objectively
reasonable and undertaken in good faith.
29. Educators can:
1. make copies of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other
copyrighted works and use them and keep them for educational
use
2. create curriculum materials and scholarship with copyrighted
materials embedded
3. share, sell and distribute curriculum materials with copyrighted
materials embedded
Learners can:
4. use copyrighted works in creating new material
5. distribute their works digitally if they meet the
transformativeness standard

image presented to customers
and can acquire exclusive legal
rights as a type of trademark or
identifying symbol of origin.
46. Test for Trademark Infringement
• Whether there is a likelihood of confusion
between the marks
1) strength of the mark;
2) degree of similarity between the marks;
3) degree of similarity between the goods/services;
4) likelihood that owner will “bridge the gap”;
5) evidence of actual confusion;
6) good faith in adopting mark;

name, term, or device charged to be an
infringement is a use, otherwise than
as a mark, . . . of a term or device
which is descriptive of and used fairly
and in good faith only to describe the
goods or services of such party, or their
geographic origin . . . ." § 1115(b)(4).
58. Trademark Nominative Fair Use
