Creative Commons (CC) licenses clearly state what people are allowed to do with certain copyrighted material and encourage sharing and reusing art and ideas. We will discuss types of CC licenses, how to assign them to your work, and how to find CC licensed material – images, texts, and other original works – to use in teaching, scholarship, and creative productions. Katie Rawson, Coordinator for Digital Research and Sarah Wipperman, ScholarlyCommons Repository Services Manager & Analyst. This event is part of the Penn Libraries' 2015 Colloquium on Open Access: Open Dialogues on Open Access
