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

Dear all,
I am excited to announce that the 2023 Curationist Fellows Program and
Critics of Color Residency Applications are live!
As part of our mission to reimagine culture through a social-justice lens,
Curationist is proud to announce two upcoming opportunities that provide
direct support for research and writing on our platform: the 2023 Critics
of Color Residency and the Curationist Fellowship. *Applications for both
programs are now open until February 1. *
The Curationist Fellows Program
<https://curationist.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6b3f65b8a3901b1b5920d…>
supports
community-based researchers, librarians, graduate students, and university
educators in incorporating cultural heritage resources into their existing
work. We especially encourage applicants from communities underrepresented
in the arts and culture field and applicants whose work may lack the
funding associated with large institutional settings.
The Critics of Color Residency
<https://curationist.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6b3f65b8a3901b1b5920d…>
supports
writers of color interested in arts and cultural criticism. Participants
will draw on the Curationist archive and work with Curationist editors and
archivists to publish writing on our site. This residency is an exciting
opportunity for early to mid-career writers to engage with digital
collections and to have their voices expand and diversify cultural
discourse. The fellowship is generously supported by Critical Minded
<https://curationist.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6b3f65b8a3901b1b5920d…>
.
Residents and fellows may be based anywhere in the world. Each fellow or
resident will be awarded a 3,000 USD stipend over six months, and will
spend approximately 15 hours per month on remote research, writing, and
workshops. Full application details are available by clicking on the links
below.
For questions about the Critics of Color Residency or Curationist Fellowship,
please email curationist(a)mhzfoundation.org.

Program information:
The CC Certificate for Open Culture/ GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives
and museums) is a professional development training for institutions or
community groups engaged in cultural heritage. As more GLAMs adapt to
increasingly online audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons
legal tools, expertise and community support. Cultural heritage
institutions share a common goal with Creative Commons: to make knowledge
and culture globally accessible.
In the course, community members will build capacity in opening access to
cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper understanding of open
licensing and copyright considerations with digitization projects, CC
licenses and tools, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels,
working with the public domain, and more.
CC Certificate participants will also gain access to a global community of
professionals and activists working toward similar cultural and policy
changes in their own cultural heritage institutions.
Best,
Jennryn
