Thing #23- Creative Commons

Creative Commons is an opportunity for your work to be shared with others, motivating them to enhance the creativity of it. It springs from the idea of by sharing more, you accomplish more. For those of us who want our work to be explored and shared with others, Creative Commons can help provide free copyright licenses so others can understand what portions of work we want them to use, modify, and/or refine. It enables us to collaborate with one another to create a high quality product. As librarians we must set a good example and follow the rules of copyright appropriately, and help to educate others in doing so as well.
