unique opportunity for special librarians and others in the U.S.,
Canada and around the world. It is offered jointly by SLA and

practical copyright and licensing situations that arise in libraries
and enterprises on a daily basis. Obtain a Certificate, get
recognized for your knowledge and experience and receive IACET CEU
credits for participating in any one or all of the 7 courses leading

legally obtain and organize your copyright permissions, the role of
copyright collectives such as the CCC, working with license
agreements, monitoring uses of content and dealing with an
infringement accusation. Guest speakers will allow the opportunity to

copyright collectives and vendors. Learn more & register for CCM600.
The following in-person course is on 14 June from 8 am to 4 pm in
