Copyright and Open Educational Resources: Creation, Licensing, and Use *Thursday, 12/6/2018* - ACRL

Copyright permeates almost every aspect of the creation and use of Open Educational Resources (OER). Given academic librarians role in championing the OER movement and promoting the ethical and responsible re-use of information, students and faculty are often turning to librarians for answers about copyright compliance when creating and using OER. This interactive webcast will help prepare academic librarians to assist patrons in addressing these issues by covering the following topics: Copyright and the creation of OER, including how copyright is secured and the ways in which third-party works (e.g. quoted text and images) can be incorporated into OER as they are being created. Author IP ownership and re-use considerations when deciding what license to attach to OER materials. Interpreting the licenses attached to OER and helping faculty and student users understand their rights and responsibilities when utilizing them http://www.ala.org/acrl/onlinelearning/copyrightandoer
