Copyright for Digital Projects - Webinar (06/25/20)

Who owns the digital content your library creates?

Digital projects usually require some amount of copyright assessment. This session introduces the major considerations about copyright and rights statements when digitizing: What is copyright? How does copyright affect decision-making? Developing a copyright approach. It also includes tools and resources to use for digitization projects. 

This webinar is for library staff with roles in collections care, exhibiting, or technical services. Any staff with an interest in improving collections care are welcome.
