This four week course gives students a hands-on view of copyright.

Who owns the works I create? When can I use text, images and songs
created by others? Learn how to determine if an item is in the public
domain. If it is not, learn how to determine if there is the
library/archive exception in copyright law allows your use. If the
library/archive exception doesn't fit your need, learn how to make a
good faith Fair Use evaluation. Finally, learn some tips about getting
permission to use others' works.

Assignments include: Registering for a copyright, Creative a creative
commons license for a work you've created, searching the Copyright Clearance
Center (copyright.com) for permissions and/or creating a permissions letter
and designating a copyright agent with the Copyright Office. You will also
learn an approach that will help you evaluate the copyright status of a
work.

Threaded discussions with classmates and the instructor will be the primary
means of feedback.
