Certificate in Copyright Management: Principles and Issues

A unique opportunity to learn about copyright through courses developed specifically for information professionals, and which address issues they face in their daily work.

Participants will receive accurate, comprehensive, and practical information on copyright law across the globe, Web 2.0 and digital copyright issues, use of copyright-protected materials, digital license agreements, copyright collective agreements, managing content and copyright compliance, and the relevant issues for content creators and publishers.

The CCM program was developed in partnership with Information Outlook columnist Lesley Ellen Harris of Copyrightlaws.com.
