Can I Copyright My Data?

As if copyright and current publishing models aren’t confusing enough, sharing datasets makes it even more complex. Join our presenters who will
  • discuss the history of copyright, the purpose of intellectual property laws and policies, and where datasets fit in to the story
  • define research data and describe the current landscape of data sharing in the US
Attendees will learn about issues of data ownership and the role that librarians can play in educating and promoting clear workflows for faculty.
 
This webinar was originally presented on December 3, 2014.
