KYLA HUNT: All right. So, hello everybody and welcome to Helping Patrons and Students Find and License Online Content. Just a couple of things about today's presentation. So, both Liz and I are going to be doing the presentations and we'll introduce ourselves in a second and then we'll be taking a couple of breaks to see if there are any questions. So, while you have questions, make sure you type them in, because I definitely don’t want you to forget what questions you have, because I can never hold on to the questions.

So, my name is Kyla Hunt. I'm the Library Management Consultant here at the Texas State Library. So, I oversee the small library management training program.

LIZ PHILIPPI: Hi, I'm Liz Philippi and I'm the School Program Coordinator here. So, I work with the TexQuest resources that are provided for K12 students and currently still working on finalizing the new Texas School Library Program standards.

KYLA HUNT: Okay. So, I always like to start out by talking about Creative Commons by really talking about what it is, because I think that when people hear the term, Creative Commons, there can be a lot of misconception. People think it's the same thing as or people think that it means that there isn't any on something anymore and those are a lot of misconceptions that I just like to clear up from the get go. And I see a little chat here. I just want to make sure -- okay, cool. I just wanted to make sure everybody could hear me. Okay.

So, Creative Commons is an online service and you can find it, and all of the websites that we talk about are going to be on the resources handout that you should have already received and it's in the handouts pane, but

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 1 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

I'm going to go ahead and put Creative Commons website in the chat pane, so you guys can grab it really easily if you want. But Creative Commons is a website that allows people to share their work, so share their photographs, share their music, share anything that they create that they would hold copyright for. It helps them automatically share that through a license that they choose. And as we go through this hour, we're going to also -- we're going to talk about finding that kind of content and we're going to talk about actually licensing that kind of content, because your patrons and yourself might find both of those useful.

So, it helps you share work through a license. It's really important to remember is it does not replace copyright. People, who share their work through Creative Commons, they still hold the copyright for their own work. So, through a specific license, it will say how you can use it, like if it's an attribution license, which we'll talk about later, it will say that you have to properly attribute to the author when you use and if you don't, you're violating their copyright. So, I just like to clarify, they still hold the copyright. It's just kind of eliminates the middleman. They don't have to go you every time to ask can I use this. They can use it. You're saying they can use it. They just have to do the things that are listed out in the license. And as the creator, it allows you to come change your copyright terms like we just described.

So, my little cat, Monica, here is going to be helping us through some questions throughout this presentation on Creative Commons and the first is why would I use Creative Commons in the first place? And you might be asking yourself that your patron or your student might be asking that.

For library patrons, there is a lot of reasons that you would use Creative Commons either from finding Creative Commons content or licensing

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 2 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

Creative Commons content. One example that I like to go to is students working on a project. And Liz is going to talk about this a little bit more later in terms of fair use and kind of misunderstandings with that. But not every time a student is working on a project can they just say that oh hey, it's very useful, I can automatically use anything I find online. For one, you can't always do that; and for two, that's just not a really great standard to be setting yourself up for -- in the long term especially if they're working on a project that they want to use after they graduate, then they definitely need to be using content in these projects that they know they are legally using.

The example that I like to think of is I was a part-time librarian at an art school for a while, and so these students were creating portfolio projects looking for artwork online that they then wanted to use after they graduated in their professional portfolio trying to get jobs and it was really important that when they were doing that, if they were wanting to re- purpose on artwork, if they were wanting to re-purpose some music or whatever content they were trying to find that it was material that they knew that they were allowed to legally use.

And the nice thing about Creative Commons is that you can go, you can look -- oh, all I have to do is attribute this or all I have to do is say, who the author is and I can use it and you're fine. Similarly, a lot of times, in public libraries, you'll be working with small business owners, who are maybe, you know, using your public access stations to create marketing materials for their business and this is something that they can really easily look for you know stock images and things like that for their own marketing purposes, and a lot of the Creative Commons works you can use even for commercial purposes. So, this really helps them get their

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 3 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

marketing materials started and not have to pay for anything, which is really helpful.

Social media users, especially if you, as a library, have a social media account, I'd like to try to remind people that just because you're using something on social media doesn't necessarily mean you have to -- you get to ignore copyright laws. And the safest way to do that is to make sure that if you're sharing images you find online that they are images that you find through something like Creative Commons that you have permission to use those kinds of images just to protect yourself.

On the other end of the spectrum, you might be working in your libraries, you might come across people, photographers or musicians or writers, who want to spread their name and work quickly and maybe they're asking how to do that or maybe you're working with a library assistant, who's trying to do that and Creative Commons is a really easy way to just spread your work. You're not necessarily going to get money for that, but you're going to a lot of exposure, which is really, really helpful.

And then on the library staff and a lot of library, you know, most -- almost all libraries have websites, a lot of libraries have blogs. Again for all of those -- any images you show on your website, on your blog, on your social media, they need -- you need to make sure that you're legally allowed to share those images. So, using Creative Commons images or music or any kind of content kind of ensures that you're legally allowed to use it and you don't have to go and ask permission every single time. And similarly, if you are wanting to share articles or studies or create PowerPoints and putting them up on SlideShare or something like that, you want to make sure that the content that you're sharing is legal.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 4 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

All right. So, it's a little bit of background about why you would use it. And we're going to look at you know how you would select the license or how you would find content later, but what I want -- one of the first things that people ask a lot of time is how will I know that something is licensed through Creative Commons if I just come upon it. And a lot of times, it will have -- you'll see one of these symbols and these are just kind of shortcut kind of image laid in symbols that represent the licenses. And if you see one of these online under a picture or under a piece of music or something like that and click on it, it will open up to the actual readable license that says that you either have to attribute it or you have to attribute it and share it -- and share the content under a similar license and I will talk about little bit about some of these specific licenses in a second.

But what I want you guys to know you don't have to memorize all of these, right? As we go through these, we want to provide an overview, you don't have to memorize about what all of these symbols mean. It's just kind of good kind of -- this is what it kind of looks like and if you click on it, when you find it, then it will show you what it means.

So, I want to provide a brief overview of some of the main most popular types of licenses that are out there under Creative Commons. The first and probably the most popular is just the CC BY license, which is an attribution license and what that means is that if you see an image, for example, that is licensed under CC BY, you'll see it just with that little circle with a little person in the middle. And in order to use it, all you have to do is properly attribute it, so you say what the title is, you link to the actual picture and we'll talk about attribution, you know the proper attribution title in a second. You need to say who actually created it and usually you do that by their handle and not necessarily their name. So,

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 5 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

however they say that they want to be attributed, that's what you use and then you list the license.

So, you'll see at the bottom -- let's see if I can get like a -- that little thing; no. You see at the bottom left hand corner. I was seeing if I can get a little markup tool, but I'm always bad at getting this to work -- that except or otherwise noted content by Creative Commons is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Just something like that is pretty standard; but usually if it's an actual image, it will also include the name and the title of the work.

So, as long as you do those things, you can legally use those images that are under a CC BY license and it's totally fine, you don't have to talk to the creator, you don't have to pay them anything. You're good to go. The next kind of most common license is Attribution-ShareAlike or CC BY-SA. And you'll usually see that marked as the kind of circle with the kind of backward C there. It's very similar to an attribution license, where of course you have to attribute it, but then you also have to share the work that you're using it under, under a similar and this is kind of promoting this kind of pay forward type of model of making sure that content remains open and we'll talk about that little bit later.

Another type of license is the Attribution-NoDerivatives license, which is CC BY-ND and you'll notice the symbol is the circle with the equal sign in the middle. What this means is that you can share -- you have to attribute it. Almost everything you have to attribute except for a CC0 and the public domain 1, which we'll talk about later, which is very different. So, you have to attribute it, but you also can't change the image or the content in any way. So, it has to just be sharing the image as is. So, it's a little more strict when it comes to that. It's just people, who don't necessarily want their content to be changed at all. That's the license that

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 6 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

they choose. So, if you -- for example, if you found an image that were CC BY-ND and you change the colors in it or you just--

LIZ PHILIPPI: Added a caption.

KYLA HUNT: --added a caption, yeah, that's a really good point. I was thinking of something else, but yes; anything like that, anyway you change it, then you're going to be violating the license; and if you violate the license, then you're violating the copyright. So, it's just something to remember.

And then the Attribution-NonCommercial, so CC BY-NC. If you're making any money off of something if you're promoting your small business, you cannot use the CC BY-NC. So, that's the number one thing. If you're helping a patron out and they're wanting to find something for something they're going to be making money off of, just tell them to watch out for the CC BY-NC license and they'll notice it's like the circle with the kind of dollar symbol exed out. So, it's pretty easy to understand when you see that symbol, but just remind them that if they use a CC BY-NC license for something they're going to be making money off of, then they are violating the copyright putting themselves at risk.

And then I mentioned this really briefly before, the CC0 license; it's very different. It was really created to enable educators and scientists and people like that to share their work and waiving their -- basically waiving their copyright. This is the one incidence, where copyright is indeed waived under a Creative Commons license. It really is saying that they are not -- they don't want to hold on to that copyright anymore and you can do whatever you want with it. There's not a lot of examples out there online by CC0, but I know Europeana was using it for a while; Figshare, Open Goldberg Variations. So, there are some academic portals out there that

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 7 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

are putting their information out through CC0 and all of those are included on -- these three examples are included on your resource document that you received. So, feel free to kind of go into that and explore that a little bit later.

Okay. And then the other type of Creative Commons license is a little bit different is a public domain mark that you might see. And a public domain mark isn't really a license. It's just a symbol saying that yes, this is in our collection like an image in our collection, so it's used a lot of times by libraries and we know for sure that it's in the public domain. So, and just as a refresher, public domains works are works that where the copyright no longer applies. So, I'm not really remembering where we are on the date as far as that goes, but it's you know -- at this point the copyright terms is very, very lengthy, but for a long time it wasn't as long. So, older works are more likely to fall under that.

What I will say is do not put this on anything that's in your collection unless one, you're absolutely sure that that content belongs in your collection and number two, that you're absolutely sure that it is in the public domain. But when collections do put this on, it just means that okay, I feel really comfortable. They're saying it's in the public domain that I can use it for whatever I want to use it for, because then the copyright doesn't apply anymore.

All right. Really quick before Liz kind of takes over in the next section, I just want to make sure I'm not seeing any questions. I'm not seeing anything yet. Again, if you have any questions as we're going through this, please, please feel free to just type them in. We're going to stop a couple of more times for questions and we'll have questions at the end of this call. Okay.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 8 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

LIZ PHILIPPI: So, what we get in our high school and I've seen personally, my own son do it. Sure, I can find that image, just go to Google. And what our kids don't understand is just because Google has an image search those images are not necessarily copyright-free. So, I think it's pretty important that we make sure that our kids as well as our adults know that the images you find on Google, you still have to find out what the attribution is and what the copyright is. So, it's just one of those -- there we go. This image is very correct. Images may be subject to copyright. That's down there, but kids don't see it. You know, they're not looking for it truthfully, and I'll say out loud right now, stopping kids from using Google would be like herding cats, just don’t try it; it's not fun and it's just going to make everybody unhappy.

So, if they're going to use Google, which they will, what you have to do is make sure that they're prepared for using it. So, when they come up with this next question, you have to remind them that who cares? I can claim fair use. Fair use is not end-all panacea using other people's property, pictures, images, music, writing in the educational environment without any copyright restrictions. I know many, many teachers, who still believe this contrary to popular belief, that is not true. You still have to use copyright. You still have to look for the attribution before you can incorporate those images, that music whatever it is into your educational products that you are using with students or that you are posting online as student products or your own products.

So, fair use; fair use was created for educational use primarily, but the way they created it to be quite honest, they made it, somewhat murky. So that there was a little leeway. The problem with that is that when you give sometimes a teacher an inch, they'll take 15 miles. So, our teachers need to

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 9 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

be very aware of what fair use means in its basic components and that is what is the character of the use, how are you using it, are you changing it? Are you posting it in perpetuity on your teacher website? What's the nature of the work that you're going to use? So, exactly what are you using it for? Are you using it just to inform students in a single lesson or is this something that you are going to put out on your teacher website and offer as an open educational resource for others to use. Those are two very, very different things.

Probably one of the most important things to consider is the third point, which is how much of the work will you use and I believe, 15% or less is still the acceptable amount of the work used and that 15% is really usually a very, very small amount. So, a good example would be using a song, a piece of music to introduce a unit in your classroom. Well, how long is the song? If it's three minutes and you use 15 seconds of it, then you're probably okay. But if it's three minutes and you use an entire minute of the song, then you're not, because that's way over the 15%.

The last and most important one is what effect will this use have on the market for the original or for permissions if the use will be widespread? Well, in education, that's usually not a big issue, but if you're creating something and you're sharing it out, then it could be. Now, we have a huge movement towards open educational resources and when that comes into play, you have to make absolutely positively sure that whatever you use in those -- that curriculum that you create and share openly is within the copyright realm and within the amount of fair use if you're using copyrighted material.

So, the other thing to consider is how widespread is it going to be. A lot of times we create content that we share with our students and we share with

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 10 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

our school and perhaps our school district. But if it goes outside of the district, then it is considered widespread use and it's considered something that could be picked up by anyone. And if you don't have the correct attributions out there, you could get slapped on the hand with the copyright stick.

So, but I want to use Google. Yeah, we hear that all the time. Why? Because it's easy. You know and I understand easy and I understand Google and I understand that. The problem is we don't want our kids to get to community college or a four-year institution or go out into the business world and use things that are not copyright, that they don't copyright correctly. So, we have to start with our kids. And if you'll see down here, it says -- you go down to the bottom, advanced search and click on that and then you can come over here, usage rights and that's super important for our kids to know that they have to go in here and make sure that they put this in there before they search. That way, when they do search and find something, they know what the copyright attribution is. Again, just because it's free to use doesn't mean you don't have to do attribution, okay?

So, that brings us to the next picture. I found this cute picture of a frog. "I'm done now, right?" And so, the big cat says, "Wrong! You still have to attribute it!" And as you'll see down here in the right hand corner, cat by wapiko is licensed under CC BY 2.0. So, it's a very, very small attribution, but it's necessary. And as long as our kids leave us -- from the K12 realm and go into the whatever, the next two, four, six, eight years offer, as long as they know, they have to do that, before they add this to any of their PowerPoints or you know projects or creations online and I'll even say it, even those giffies that they use in social media should have that attribution

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 11 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

in it, and of course a lot of people don't, but that does not mean they need to leave us thinking that that's the right way to do it.

So, there is Creative Commons wiki. So, this is an ideal attribution here. Creative Commons 10th birthday celebrations, San Francisco and then it goes onto say CC BY. Now, because the title was Creative Commons 10th birthday, the author, tvo, its link to its profile page. The source is the Creative Commons celebration San Francisco link to the original Flickr page and the license CC BY 2.0 linked to license deed. So, if they go to this and they do what needs to be done, then they're good.

So, here is an example of a Google image. The title, cat; author, wapiko; link to its profile page; the source -- here's the author. Here is the -- sorry, following the lines. Here is the source, the cat link to the original Flickr page and then the license, link to the license deed. Some rights reserved, okay. See? That's not so hard. So, Cat by wapiko is licensed under CC BY 2.0; that's pretty simple. And as long as they know how short and simple it is, I think that they'll do it. You just have to stress it to them. Kids, they just don't know that they can't just do whatever they want with the picture when they find it.

So again, here is another example of attribution for a picture. Yeah, so Overcoming Creating Block by Winston Hearn; and again, remember to put those links in there that link it back to where you found it. So, choose license features.

Okay. I'm going to -- wait, let me go back. So, I'll leave you with the rainbow pencils and I’ll bring it back over to Kyla, who's going to show you the kind of path you need to take.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 12 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

KYLA HUNT: Okay. Thanks Liz.

Let me double check that there is no questions. I'm not seeing any. But again, if you guys have any questions and if you -- you know, if you come up with questions later too, after the webinar, feel free to e-mail us or e- mail us in the resources handout and we'll be more than happy to answer those then. I don't see any, so we'll check again later.

So, that was kind of on the end of a user, who wants to find content and again, we'll talk about a little bit more about searching for content a little bit later, but we do want to take a couple of minutes to talk about if you or one of your patrons or students wants to license their own work under Creative Commons, how would they do that. Oops, here we are.

So, in order to do that, you would go to creativecommons.org/choose and actually I'm just going to go there, because I think sometimes it's a little bit -- okay.

LIZ PHILIPPI: When I think about this, Kyla, I think about our kids in art classes--

KYLA HUNT: Yeah.

LIZ PHILIPPI: --and doing photography or they are doing their own art projects and it may be that they want to share those really, because they take some awesome, awesome photographs or create awesome artworks and if they want to share it out and get some attention for what they're doing, then this is the way to guide them through it.

KYLA HUNT: And it's interesting, because I think -- I feel like the kids that you teach how to properly share their own work like this legally, it clicks a little bit

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 13 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

better for them that they should do the same thing for people, who we know when they're trying to find content to use, because they understand oh, this is how I legally share and so I should show the same kind of respect for other people. Hopefully that would work.

But if you go to creativecommons.org/choose, it basically just kind of takes you a long series of questions. So, under license features, it asks do you want to allow adaptations of your work to be shared. So, yes, no, or yes as long as others share alike. So, if I said -- I'm going to say yes. Do I want to allow commercial uses of my work? And I am going to say, no. I don't want anybody to make money off of my work. And then it will give you what license hypothetically that you get to use and actually -- oops; this actually should be ND, so that's interesting to me, but anyway, but that is -- my point is that you don’t have to go through all licenses, all of the licenses that are listed, all the licenses that we talked about and automatically share or automatically choose that license, right? You just go through the series of questions and it kind of chooses it for you based on what you want to add.

As you share and -- shared, if I can say this, a tool for automatically generating attribution for Flickr images and its ImageCodr.org, so thanks for that sharing, and yeah, we're going to talk about -- actually a little bit later, we're going to talk about Creative Commons actually recently opened up a beta of a search, where it automatically creates the attribution for you as well. And so, we'll show that later. And you know, one thing that I just want to remind you on that and is you know just with like anything, any kind of citation builder, just make sure it looks correct, because sometimes things like that--

LIZ PHILIPPI: Especially when you copy and paste it.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 14 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

KYLA HUNT: Yeah. If you copy and paste it, sometimes, those types of tools are created by people and people are [inaudible 0:30:12] so, just make sure that it does look correct, because in the end, it is still you sharing the content, so you're still liable. And same with this, because really I think that this should have been -- because I said allow commercial uses of work and said no, this should be an ND license. So, you know at that point, I would maybe e-mail Commons, it'd be like, I actually didn't -- or not ND, but non-commercial license, hey, I really wanted a non-commercial license, because still the license that you share under that is the license that it’s going to be under. And it might just be my Internet that's not letting that work very well, but that's how ideally you choose a license.

Let me go back to my -- so, again, this PowerPoint kind of has screenshots of showing that process, so you're answering the questions and then it says if you select the license. It says this is a free cultural license. Sorry about that. Okay.

When things are marked as a free cultural license, what they mean and you don’t have to necessarily pay attention to this if you don't want to, but just if you're curious, there is an organization out there called Freedom to Find that kind of has this scale. They really are promoting, you know, works to be shared the most openly, the most freely as possible. And so, if you have a CC0 license, if you have CC attribution license or CC BY license and if you have a CC share like they think that those are the most open types of Creative Commons licenses out there. So, those are going to get that little stamp of approval and then everything is a little less open. That does not mean that you only have to choose the more open ones. Really you are in control of what type of license you put your work under, because again,

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 15 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

people, who create works, they are the copyright holders, they get control over it.

And then when you're choosing your license, it does have a little information on helping others attribute you, which is you know, it's helpful in that the person, who holds the copyright gets a little bit more control over how they want people to mark their work. If you don't do that, it's basically just going to be whatever is listed on the website or however the person, who is sharing it kind of figures out how to attribute you. So, it's a little bit better to go ahead and do that and it will create metadata that when they share your work, it automatically attributes you -- at least in the metadata.

And then you can grab an embed code to actually share your license on the webpage that you're sharing your work on. If you're sharing your work through Flickr or sharing a video through Vimeo or something like that, a lot of times they have -- when you're uploading your content, they have an option of putting your work under a Creative Commons license in that way and so it's automatically put there. But if you're just putting it on our blog or putting something else there, you'll want to grab this kind of embed code when you're creating the license on the Creative Commons website.

And a really good tool to find and I apologize, the link is all the way up here, but it is in your resources document. GLAM is off of the wiki creativecommons.org. It's kind of a list of places out there that do use Creative Commons licenses and you'll notice it is a very you know pretty long list of libraries here that are listed that do offer Creative Commons licensed works such as obviously the Library of Congress and New York Public Library, they're kind of the two most well-known library users of

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 16 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

Creative Commons licenses out there. So, if you want to kind of explore that a little bit more, because sometimes, you know, for your patrons and I know I've done this in the past, is a share list of online resources and [inaudible 0:34:37] guide or something like that, so people can easily find online resources for something and so sharing ones that are automatically under Creative Commons is doing a good deed for your patrons or your students.

All right. Let's get back here. Okay. And then another really good example is Open Access Maps at the New York Public Library. So, I really encourage you to kind of explore that one as well. They put out a lot of their historical maps online and put them under a CC0 public domain or there’s a public domain marker on there, so that's a really good example of how you can use that public domain mark.

All right. And then I do want to go ahead and talk a little bit about their search engine. It's not really a search engine, but it's search portal. So, if you go to search.creativecommons.org, this is going to be the easiest way to find Creative Commons works. Sometimes, they have pop ups, because Creative Commons is a non-profit organization and you know, we're not necessarily endorsing them and that's why you'll see popup sometimes.

So, what you would do is, you know, enter your search query and you can select the website that you want to search. So, for example, if we wanted to go to Flickr and we wanted to find a frog, all right, and just hit enter, it provides a bunch of different obviously nice, really well taken, yeah, pictures of frogs. You'll see up here, it says "commercial use and modifications allowed" is the default for searching under Flickr. But if you click on that, you can search all Creative Commons licenses, commercial

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 17 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

use allowed, modifications allowed, no known copy restrictions or U.S. government works.

A lot of times when I search -- because any time I make presentations, I use this search tool to find my images. And a lot of times the images that I come up with are from like the U.S. Army sometimes. It's really interesting. But this kind of helps you modify, especially if you just want commercial use works, it's really helpful. But if you don't care about that, you can open it up a little bit broader and say all Creative Commons works.

But if I wanted to say again, if I wanted to say I want to use this frog, hi, little frog, I could definitely do that, but let me hide this, okay. You can download any of these images by clicking this download button and you can download it in any way that you want to choose and then to share the link is you would go here and copy that link and that's the official kind of permalink for this image. But again, if you need to attribute the CC license is right here, you'll see it's just that little guy, which again means that’s a CC BY license, but if you want to make sure click on the "some rights reserved" link and it will specify what type of license it falls under. So, this is attribution 2.0 generic and it tells you what you're free to do. It tell you what you have to do, so you're free to share it, you're free to adapt it if you attribute it and there is no additional restrictions.

And something that you want to think about is this is just reader friendly with a readable summary. If you really want to get into the nitty-gritty like actual license, you would click on the license link and that's kind of the legalities. And again, we're not lawyers, so just a disclaimer on that. So, if your library really needs to go through a lawyer, you would have them

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 18 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

review this before you use it, I've never done that, but again, I'm not a lawyer.

So, going back to that -- so, again, we find that we have to attribute this, so we say it's a frog. We link to this permalink that's right here, yeah, and the author is right here and usually I also try to link to the author’s page. I not only put their name, but I click on their name and that way I can click on their permalink for their page, so it's easy to find them.

So, that is the Flickr portal. I'm going to kind of X back here. But there is, you know, not just Flickr, but you could do the same, a similar search for your Europeana, for , which is a music portal. I didn't really mean to click that, but so if I searched under jazz under Jamendo, it would probably give us some stuff. So again, it gives us a list of music here that if you go into it, it will give you similar information.

All right. Let's go back to my PowerPoint. All right. I'm going to give this to Liz to talk about OER.

LIZ PHILIPPI: Okay. So, real quick, I kind of put this slide in yesterday, because I just wanted to do a little bit of information on OER with Creative Commons. So, OER or Open Education Resources must be both free, no cost for anyone to access and to legally modify according to the 5R activities: retain, reuse, revise, remix, redistribute. So, that is what OER is, and so when we're talking about OER, a lot of times, people think we're talking just about resources, you know, access to free information, but it really -- at the heart of it, I think in my opinion means what we create with those free resources or what we create as a curriculum or as a lesson and it would not be considered OER if you do not have those 5 Rs connected to it.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 19 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

So, in other words, if you create a curriculum about the civil war and you don't want someone to take it and remix it and reuse it, then do not post it as OER, okay? It's that simple, because it won't be. So, if I click on this link, this goes to Creative Commons and it goes to their OER page under Creative Commons and it talks about how to strike this -- just really an essence this is a blog post about it, but it gives you some really good links, where you can click on and get some FAQs about K12 OER, find others OER, so here are a few links to OER content online. How to share your work, giving gratitude and then there is a conclusion about using OER.

I'm kind of passionate about using OER, because I think it freezes up to really make the curriculum that we use with our kids personalized for them and we're not recreating the wheel every time we go into teach a theme or a topic or a unit. And sometimes others, I think, in my opinion bring something to our work that we may not think of ourselves. So, I would encourage if you are an educator or if you work with students in any kind of teacher capacity to investigate the OER links and OER resources under Creative Commons and other OER sites.

Here's Kyla.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah, that's fine. I told people for really long time, I go by -- because I've been called Kyla my whole life.

Okay. We wanted to share a couple of additional examples. One -- and this is an example I've been using for a long time when I talk about Creative Commons, is Unsplash and actually I was going to it this morning and I discovered that they've actually kind of stopped using a lot of Creative Commons licenses and just kind of opened it up and they're

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 20 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

using their own kind of Unsplash license is what they're calling it, but it basically means that you don't have to give credit at all for any of this work, yeah [inaudible 0:43:15] free for personal and commercial use; no attribution required. Even if something says no attribution required, especially if you're working with students, I would still encourage them to do it, because it's best practice, but they're saying that they don't.

The reason I share this is because these are really, really pretty like high res images that you can freely use and so, I still like to use it even if they're not or I like to share it.

LIZ PHILIPPI: [Inaudible 0:43:41] back to where it comes from for the student.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah. If you -- I encourage the student to link it back to where they got it, so that other students can find it or if the teachers need to find it, I mean that's just good standard operating procedure when you're working with kids.

LIZ PHILIPPI: Yeah, exactly.

KYLA HUNT: Or even adults. Okay. Yeah. Vimeo offers a really nice kind of video library and they offer a really nice portal, where you can browse videos by Creative Commons license type. So, if you want to see a list of videos that they have from users that are under attribution license, you can do that. If you want to see what they have under share like, no derivatives, non- commercial basically all of them or even public domain. So, if you're looking for videos, you can share for a specific project or for any purpose, you can go onto Vimeo and browse them; that's really, really helpful. And it has a nice little blurb on what all of these licenses mean over here on the side, which is nice.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 21 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

All right. Then PLOS -- you know, if we go to the website, it's a little more scientific. It's a non-profit publisher, an organization, so it's a journal. But if you do go into their, I believe, their FAQ, they talk about their use of Creative Commons license. So, the use of what is CC BY and they explain what it is and CC BY, you know and their opinion is the appropriate license for publicly funded research, which is a nice kind of take on it. And it talks a little bit about, you know, what their stance is on open access publishing. It's just a really nice kind of online journal example that I like to share if you want to kind of explore that a little bit more.

And then YouTube, you can find Creative Commons videos on YouTube and I would always double check the actual video, make sure the license is there. One thing to remember is that if you're going to straight to YouTube and you're wanting to search for example like a cat video, you have to first search it and then filter it. So, cat videos here and then you go over to filter on the right and then under features you can see Creative Commons. It can be a little confusing, because I haven't found a really good way of doing it from the get go unless you go through search.creativecommons; through the YouTube portal, you have to search first and then filter it under Creative Commons and usually that's a CC BY license.

And finally and I see a couple -- maybe a couple of questions have come through and so I'll get to that in just a minute. I wanted to share these new CC Search Beta and this is something new that they put out to make it a little bit easier to attribute the works that you find through Creative Commons and it's ccsearch.creativecommons.org. So instead of search.creativecommons.org, it's ccsearch.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 22 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

So, if I go here and again, it's not asking really what I'm -- it looks a little bit different in how it's asking about what I'm searching. You'll see right now, it's searching Flickr, it's searching Europeana. It's searching The Met, it's searching New York Public Library and it's searching the Rijksmuseum, I don't know how to pronounce it. And then you can put filters. Do I want to find images I can use for commercial purposes? Yes. Do I want to be able to modify? Yes.

And then if you want to search within either the title [inaudible 0:47:51] page tags or everything and results for page and it asks, you know, do you want to be photograph 500px or Flickr, and we'll say both. So, if I do a cat search here, it gives me all of these and just like any search, just because you put the term in, it doesn’t mean it's going to automatically make sense as to why it's there, like why is this there. But I like this picture. So if I clicked on this, it opens up the picture and it automatically gives me this attribution here at the bottom left.

Again, I would always just make sure that that all the information looks correct, but it's really a nice shortcut they just recently opened up and so I want to make sure.

LIZ PHILIPPI: [Inaudible 0:47:51] copy and paste.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah. It's really just copy and paste and makes it your life and your life and your patrons' or students' lives a lot easier if they want to go this route. All right. And that links in here resources document as well.

So, at this point, I'm going to go ahead and see if there are any questions. Maybe that was just Naomi saying, are there any questions? No. So, again, let me see what time it is. We have 12 minutes. So, we'll definitely hang

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 23 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

on for at least a couple of minutes to see if there are any questions. Again, I know sometimes it's going to be overwhelming when you're just learning about something, so if you come across any questions later, feel free to e- mail either me or Liz or both of us. Both of our e-mails are on the resources handout.

LIZ PHILIPPI: Thanks so much and you know whether you're a public school or academic librarian, please take time to work with your kids and make sure that they know searching Google comes with some side items.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah. I see Vaughn asking how can I get the handouts we are mentioning. You didn't get anything. So, there is usually a follow-up e-mail that goes out with the recording and usually those hand outs are included there and then also there should be handouts tab in your Go to Webinar panel on the right and they are listed there. You should be able to download those there as well. But if you can't find that, you should be able to get it in the follow-up e-mail.

LIZ PHILIPPI: Okay. Heather, to be honest, I think the best way is to put them in the driver shoes and say okay, have you ever taken a really good picture or have you ever drawn a really good picture? Most kids will say yes, but even if they haven't, say, okay, pretend that you have and you put that picture on the Internet and somebody else takes it and puts their name on it. That's, to me, the best way to explain to them, because they don't -- otherwise, they don't get it. They don't get what's the big deal. Well, if it was you, it would be a big deal. So, that's usually the way I try to explain it to kids, who don’t want to listen and don't seem to think it's important.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah. And a lot of times when I've worked with college aged students with stuff like that, I have them do a project, where they're creating

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 24 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

something, where they want to -- where I make them go through the process of creating the license to share it, even if they're not -- even if for some reason they would never do that and they were [inaudible 0:51:18] just going through that process a lot of times makes it click a little bit more for them. It might not, but it's a good kind of start.

Susie is saying -- oh, thanks. Yeah. We really appreciate it. Yah, Susie is asking [inaudible 0:51:39] participants of this webinar will be archived. Yeah, so we are definitely recording it; Naomi is recording it. She will send out a follow-up e-mail detailing all of that information and the archives go onto our -- to the TSLAC website on our online courses page and those are usually up pretty quickly. Naomi is really good.

LIZ PHILIPPI: Or you can search the archived webinars to find whatever you need and I think if you just put in Creative Commons, it would come up.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah.

LIZ PHILIPPI: And again, if you have any questions, you are more than welcome to e- mail either or both of us.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah. Cool. We'll just hang out for a couple of more minutes to see if there's any other questions. I'm seeing a lot of thank yous, so thank you guys for being here today. We really do appreciate you guys coming out to talk with us on a Tuesday morning. I don't know about where you guys are, but it's really gloomy here. So, okay. I'm seeing a bunch of thank yous. Okay. Awesome. We really appreciate lot of thank yous. It makes us feel really good. Yeah.

Capital Typing, Inc. Page 25 of 26 CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT

LIZ PHILIPPI: Especially, since I'm kind of new to this; Kyla is really driving this bus and I just kind of hopped on. I can't stress how important it is for our kids to know this before they leave us in the high school.

KYLA HUNT: Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm not seeing any more questions. So, I think Naomi, we're probably good to close up. Again, thank you so much for attending today. And if you have any questions later, feel free to e-mail us.

LIZ PHILIPPI: Thanks for attending. We appreciate it. Have a good--
