Scholarship@Dal Libraries - Creative Commons: What, Where, Why, & How?

Scholarship@Dal Libraries - Creative Commons: What, Where, Why, & How?

Presenter(s):
Roger G

With massive amounts of information being shared online, many often have questions about how they can go about re-using material that they find online. Creative Commons-licensed works are an alternative to traditional copyright-protected works that operate under an “Some rights reserved” model rather than an “All rights reserved” model where permission to use the work is explicitly given by the creator or copyright owner.  This session will look at Creative Commons licensed material: what it is, what the different elements of Creative Commons licenses are, where to find Creative-Commons licensed material, and how to apply it to your own work.  

By the end of this session, participants will: 

  • Have a basic understanding of Creative Commons licenses and how they work
  • Be exposed to the different types of Creative  Commons licenses and how they affect the re-use of a work 
  • Learn strategies for finding and using Creative Commons-licensed material for use in their work

This session will not be recorded.

Roger Gillis is the Copyright and Digital Humanities Librarian at Dalhousie University Libraries.

He is currently a member of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Author Rights working group.
