EIFL is pleased to organize a webinar on the popular topic of Libraries, Copyright and the Commons. This is the second in a series of four EIFL webinars on copyright and libraries (further details below).

The webinar will focus on Creative Commons (CC) licences, widely used for legally sharing and using copyright-protected works in the areas of open education, science and research. It will also discuss the emerging issue of generative AI and CC licences, and it will present tools, resources and practices commonly used by librarians and researchers when applying CC licences to materials. 

The expert speakers are Shanna Hollich, Learning and Training Manager, Creative Commons, as well as Iryna Kuchma and Milica Ševkušić from EIFL’s Open Access Programme.

• Date and time: Wednesday, 25 September 2024 @ 12pm - 1pm London (GMT+1). Check your local time here. 
• To register: Register here.

Librarians everywhere are welcome to attend the webinars. We especially encourage librarians in EIFL partner countries to attend. Librarians from EIFL partner countries who attend all four webinars can apply for a certificate of attendance from EIFL (an application form will be available after the last webinar). The webinar will be recorded for later viewing.
