Description: In this webinar from Creative Commons, you will learn how to find and use CC licensed-content. Maybe you’ve heard of CC or seen the logo, but you’re still not sure what you can and can’t do with CC-licensed work. Maybe you’re interested in using CC-licensed work in your classroom or with your patrons, but you’re not sure where to get started or how to find high-quality CC-licensed materials. This webinar will answer those questions and also give you powerful information you can use to advocate for using and creating openly-licensed materials at your own institution and in your communities.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
· Find, use, and re-use CC-licensed content in their own work.
· Assist patrons with finding, using, and re-using high-quality CC-licensed content, especially online.
· Advocate within their own communities for the importance of open access materials.
Who Should Attend: This webinar is geared towards any librarian that creates content for their patrons or colleagues, or that uses the work of others when creating content such as LibGuides, finding aids, blog posts, presentations, etc.
