CARLI Support for Creative Commons Certification for Academic Librarians

Partial registration support is available for up to 5 library workers per fiscal year at CARLI member institutions to participate in the Creative Commons Certificate Program.

Creative Commons (CC) licensing is a type of license commonly used with open educational resources. The course delves into the Creative Commons licenses and open practices. This 10-week certificate course is run as asynchronous, online trainings, with options for synchronous discussions. The Creative Commons Certificate Program syllabus includes modules on:

  • What is Creative Commons?
  • Copyright Law
  • Anatomy of a CC License
  • Using CC Licenses and CC-Licensed Work
  • Creative Commons for Librarian

The total cost of the program for a CARLI attendee after discounts and reimbursements is $225. The Midwest Higher Education Compact (MHEC) provides a 15% registration discount; all CARLI Members qualify for this discount. CARLI will provide $200 registration reimbursement. All CARLI members qualify for the $200 reimbursement; however, CARLI financial support will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 5 registrants.
