Copyright for graduate students

Workshop description

Are you in the midst of writing your thesis? Are there images or portions of published manuscripts you are planning to use in your thesis? Do you have concerns over how copyright laws could delay your thesis submission?

In this session, you will learn:

  • to examine your thesis for copyright compliance,
  • the laws relating to using copyrighted images,
  • to identify copyright material,
  • about creative commons licenses,
  • about using material from online resources, and
  • about author rights.

Note that the workshop portion of the event will run for one hour, but the instructor will stay for an additional 30 minutes to answer questions, as needed.
