What is the difference between something that is free online and something that is truly “open”? Did you know that it is often a Creative Commons license that puts the “open” in Open Access scholarship and Open Educational Resources? As librarians, we want to be able to help our users find and reuse open resources, and we often want to share our own work more openly than the default “all rights reserved” of copyright In this session, you will learn about Creative Commons, including the four CC license elements, the six CC licenses, and CC0 — Creative Commons’ public domain dedication tool We will cover how to apply a CC license to your own work, how to search for openly-licensed works online, and how to reuse, remix, and properly attribute CC-licensed works created by others Whether you are new to CC licenses or you already have some familiarity with them, you will come away from this session with an expanded understanding of Creative Commons Comments or questions for the conference committee In December 2018, I completed the Creative Commons Certificate As a project for the course, I created a LibGuide on “Open Licensing with Creative Commons” This semester I am offering two Search Savvy Seminars titled “Reuse, Remix, and Create with the Creative Commons” I am eager to advocate for Creative Commons and share my knowledge about CC licenses with broader audience, and I would love the opportunity to so at the RILA Conference Check all times that you are available to present The committee will attempt to take this into account when creating the conference schedule Wednesday, May 22 | Morning Wednesday, May 22 | Afternoon Thursday, May 23 | Morning Thursday, May 23 | Afternoon
