Copyright Instruction Library Guide

Purpose of this Guide

The purpose of the guide is to share open access materials for copyright instruction use within a library.  The units will be separated into lessons based on a particular copyright subject or issue and materials will be shared enabling a librarian to teach the unit to colleagues within the library in a series of workshops. 

The following subjects are available (and more will be added as they are developed):

  • Author’s Rights
  • How to Develop a Library Copyright Policy (for a library publishing group)

If you have materials or a teaching unit that you wish to share, please e-mail Sara Benson at srbenson@illinois.edu

Please note that only open access materials will be shared and that none of the information included on this guide is legal advice.
