Hi,

 

A quick note for members of the list who may not have caught this on twitter – there’s a new browser plugin (for: opera, firefox, chrome) (for: opera, firefox, chrome) to simplify the process of attributing creative commons works.

 

http://openattribute.com/

 

Once you install the plugin (one click) any time that you are on a web page which includes cc-licence information in the metadata an icon shows up beside the url and  you can click it to get a citation of page/ object for attribution.

 

For example – if i go to Phil’s blog and click the icon I get:

 

“Phil’s JISC CETIS blog» Blog Archive » Hopes and fears for eReaders and eTextBooks : taken from - http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/2011/01/24/hopes-and-fears-for-ereaders-and-etextbooks/

Author: Open Attribute

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ ”

 

it’s also available as RDF.

 

More information, the plugin, and a better explanation are available on the site.

 

Kind regards,

John
