Copyright for Library Technicians

Learning objectives

In the digital era, it's easier to share content than ever before. But to do so legally and ethically is another matter. Whether you envision yourself working in a public, academic, or special library in future, having baseline copyright knowledge will serve you well. 

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  • Define copyright 
  • Identify user rights and creator rights in the Copyright Act 
  • Explain how license agreements (contracts) intersect with copyright law
  • Describe open licensing
