Copyright Focus: Terms of Use & Permissions Online
Have you ever wanted to adapt an existing publication rather than ‘reinvent the wheel’? Or have you found the perfect image online but have no idea who owns it and if it’s free to use? Knowing when and how to get permission to use a copyright-protected resource can seem overwhelming. This hands-on session will help you make copyright-compliant decisions when creating content for Nova Scotia Health.
In this 45-minute session you will:
- Learn how to interpret terms of use for copyright-protected works.
- Understand when asking permission is necessary.
- Learn how to request and report permissions using Library Services’ Permissions Request Form.
Recommended for: Nova Scotia Health staff who create content (e.g. publications, clinical tools, LMS courses, subject guides, presentations) and want to learn more about copyright.
