What I really doRead a lot of reports and articlesInterpret what I’ve read and seenSend (a lot of) emails to library staffTalk to campus faculty and administrators

about what I do and what I readMake sure these new ideas are infused into

library policies

Why do I (we) need to do this?Publishing models are changing.Copyright law and perceptions of ownership

are changing as everyone can access, modify and share information online.

Many university faculty members don’t realize how changes may affect their research and publishing.

The Libraries’ policies and collections planning may need adjustment, refinement, or review.

Publishing – Creative Commonshttp://creativecommons.org/Attribution You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work — and derivative works based upon it — but only if they give credit the way you request.

Share Alike You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.

Publishing – Creative CommonsNoncommercial You let others copy, distribute, display, and

perform your work — and derivative works based upon it — but for noncommercial purposes only.

No Derivative Works You let others copy, distribute, display, and

perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.

CC License TypesAttribution Lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long

as they credit you for the original creation.Attribution Share Alike Lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as

they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to open source software licenses.

Attribution No Derivatives Allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along

unchanged and in whole, with credit to you.Attribution Non-Commercial Lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their

new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike Lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they

credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. Others can download and redistribute your work just like the by-nc-nd license, but they can also translate, make remixes, and produce new stories based on your work. All new work based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also be non-commercial in nature.

Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives Allows others to download your works and share them with others as long as they mention

you and link back to you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially. (most restrictive)
