21 Simple Ideas to Promote Copyright Literacy in Your Library or Organization (in our eTutorial Developing a Copyright Education Strategy)
— Register Now!
This 10-lesson eTutorial runs from 22 April to 3 May 2019.
The course absolutely met my expectations. I was hoping to come out of it with a game plan to start implementing a copyright education strategy within my institution and that is exactly what I got. I am excited to start mapping this out! I know it will greatly benefit my workplace to have this kind of initiative in place. I love the e-mail format — makes it easier to get to the lessons when I can, even from home if need be! I highly recommend this course, especially if someone is working in similar circumstances to me wherein the very small copyright team is vastly outnumbered by the amount of colleagues who need their expertise and help on a daily basis.

I recommend this course if you’re looking for Canadian Copyright Law in a nutshell. The topics were well organized and I loved the self-marking quizzes. I can now help our IP legal counsel with copyright-related research.”

Legally Using Images
I got exactly what I expected from this course. The email format was great. I thought the in-depth analysis of Creative Commons licenses was the most valuable piece in the lessons. Would be an excellent primer for anyone coming into a copyright job. I really would have appreciated this course earlier in my career.
— Kimberley Kemmer, Copyright Clearance Assistant at the University of Alberta
Developing a Copyright Policy or Guidelines
Thanks so much for everything. I always love your classes and guidance. I wanted to have a draft policy document by the end of the class and that’s exactly what I got. My participation (and the draft document) will allow me to get a copyright policy in place in 2019. Developing a Copyright Policy or Guidelines is definitely worth the price – it is a bargain when you consider that you end up with a draft document and instructor review of it in addition to the course work. I absolutely recommend this course!

U.S. Copyright Law
I received some training on copyright when I started my job as a librarian a year ago. I understood enough about copyright for our daily operations. After completing the U.S. Copyright Law eTutorial I feel have a much deeper understanding of copyright law, how to make sure the company is following it, and what the consequences are if there’s an instance of copyright infringement. I can also better explain to patrons why some practices are allowed and others aren’t.
