As creators, we rely on the protections offered by intellectual property laws to ensure that our work product is protected from improper use. As consumers of intellectual property, we are legally (and morally) obligated to respect the intellectual property rights of others, just as we expect others to respect our intellectual property rights…One intellectual property right that is very important to UBC faculty, staff and students is copyright.”
Would you like to learn more about copyright at UBC? Are you curious about your own copyright obligations or how to obtain permission to use copyrighted materials? If so, simply register and attend a free session being offered as part of the Copyright Education Series – a collaboration between The Library, CTLT, and The UBC Bookstore.
The next Copyright Clinic Drop-In sessions will both be happening at 11:30am-12:30pm on August 16th at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and on August 30th in the Walter C. Keener Library.
