Course Description: Relevant to anyone working in health information or health care, this course will provide a solid foundation in copyright, enabling participants to feel more confident about answering common copyright questions and resolving potential copyright issues in their own use of information. Through the analysis of scenarios, you will learn how to share and use copyright-protected content legally, identify and locate “copyright friendly” material made available under open licences, and refer to additional resources to deal with more complex cases.
