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.”

Dear Colleagues,
Increasingly, artists are being commissioned to deliver cultural heritage activity. This is for a wide range of reasons including audience development, collections interpretation, intangible heritage enactment, and to address gaps in material or historic records. We would like to explore open licensing with creatives and commissioning organisations, to surface concerns and impacts, as well as the opportunities and benefits of openly licensing digital outputs including performances, art works, and digital representations of artistic activity.
Following consultation and discussion with artists, commissioning organisations and the global CC Copyright Platformhttps://network.creativecommons.org/cc-copyright-platform/, the UK's National Lottery Heritage Fund will facilitate the production of a short co-created paper outlining current concerns, risk and opportunities in relation to openly licensing commissioned artistic works. We hope the project will make a positive contribution to public considerations of ethics in relation to open licensing, supporting discussion and policy development, and providing artists and organisations with information to support informed decision making and commissioning.
We are looking for colleagues who would like to join our expert advisory group. We'll host our first online discussion in June and share our paper at end November 2023.
If you'd like to be part of this initiative, or know someone who would, sign up is available at 2023 Working Group Volunteers - Google Docshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xr3UyXXyt3AEzp0cn04TweOz07iyF6IOleh6m-OinkY/edit
