Testimonials for Our Courses

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.

— Chelsea Embree, Research Librarian, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.

The Copyright Leadership Certificate exceeded my expectations. I did not expect the course to cover as much material as it did. I will be applying a number of changes throughout the rest of year due to what I learned in the Certificate program, mostly to our copyright guidelines. I would absolutely recommend this program to others.

— Irina Burns, Managing Editor, Academy of Management
