Have you ever been asked to select a Creative Commons license to accompany a manuscript? Have you ever considered licensing your own material for others to use? This 60-minute class will introduce you to the background and purpose of the Creative Commons, provide information about the licenses and their differences, and leave you with a practical understanding of how to select the correct license for your intellectual property (manuscripts, data, and other education materials).  [NOTE: We offer an online guide on this topic!]

By the end of this session, learners will be able to:

• Define the Creative Commons and identify the nuances between licenses
• Read and explain author/publishing agreements that include language about the Creative Commons
• Plan for the reuse of their content, especially tables, figures, and images
