See what people say about CC Certificate courses.
<https://certificates.creativecommons.org/about/testimonials/> Stephen
Craig Finlay, OER and STEM Librarian at UNO Libraries notes:
“If at all possible, take this course. It's probably the most valuable and
rewarding professional development training I've done since becoming an
academic librarian in 2013. I thought I had a pretty decent grasp of the
ins and outs of Creative Commons before taking the course, and the
difference in my knowledge and skill set now compared to then is night and
day. In my experience, the heavy majority of faculty don't have a great
idea of what CC is, how it works, or what it can do for them. Being a
campus resource for CC has raised my profile at the university, which has
done wonders for work building and running an OER program. As soon as I
started helping faculty with individual reference consultations about CC,
word started getting around. Now I'm getting faculty I've never met
emailing me to ask for advice on a CC question, because they heard about me
from a peer. Money well spent.”
Again, you can register for a course here

Hello everyone!
While this is a bit of an off-topic, I've seen several of you sharing
projects on cultural heritage, climate change & openness, so I thought I
might share this here:
We're excited to launch the Open Climate Fellowship program!
Open Climate is looking for 7 fellows interested in working on
intersections between open technology projects and the climate crisis.
Fellows should be interested in connecting with new people working with
open technologies and/or climate and environmental justice, & coordinating
with our team to put ideas, projects and partnerships out into the
world. Applications
are due December 11th. More at: https://open-climate.org/fellowship/
<https://open-climate.org/fellowship/?fbclid=IwAR120c4d-nEjVQW2vFI8Q4nu0Vzcc…>
On Dec. 6, at 3 PM UTC, we will be holding a webinar to answer questions
from interested applicants and help them develop their fellowship idea:
