CREATIVE COMMONS LICENCES - A new course at Aslib
21 November 2005, 14.00-17.00
Access to information is key for libraries and information brokers. Over
time increasing amounts of content is being developed, including content
created by publicly-funded organisations. Creative Commons will catalyse
the process of access, facilitating wider distribution of copyrighted
material and allowing patrons to do more with the resources available.
It is important that information professionals have a good understanding
of Creative Commons and the shift in culture it will bring about.
This half-day workshop is a basic introduction to Creative Commons and
its implications for the information professional. Participants will
look at the process of choosing a licence; then through discussion and
group work will consider related issues and the role Creative Commons
will play in the future.
