This section will provide a brief introduction to copyright basics that you may encounter while using and licensing OER and other materials.

Creative Commons licenses are the most widely used type of open license. There are six different Creative Commons licenses available, each with a different set of conditions for re-use and adaptation of works.

Always check the license to determine if your intended use of a work falls within the license terms.

Learn more about Creative Commons licenses here, or check out Creative Commons for Educators and Librarians by Creative Commons, published by the American Library Association.
