Click University Connections

It's time to think about copyright

Please join us Wednesday, November 9th, at 1:00pm ET for the annual Certificate in Copyright Management Open House.  This program, offered virtually and led by instructor Lesley Ellen Harris, will explore why we need to manage copyright.  You'll also get an informative glimpse into the content and benefits of the upcoming copyright courses.

Start 2012 with CCM100. Introduction to Copyright Management: Principles and Issues, beginning January 18th. Course participants will explore copyright myths, compliance, basic law principles, and why copyright is an issue of concern to information professionals.

Members receive discounted pricing on individual courses, and an additional 10% off with advance payment. (One more reason it pays to be an SLA member!)

For more information, visit the CCM page or contact Click University staff.

Space is limited, so register today!  A recording of the event will be available on the Click U site for those not able to attend live.
