Creative Commons is a popular way to share, use and adapt works. You may be asking yourself, "but what is Creative Commons?" or "How does it fit into copyright law and what licence should I add to my work so others can use and adapt it?"
If you have ever had any of those questions, or would just like to get your head around Creative Commons, this may be the resource you have been waiting for! JCU library is very happy to announce to release of our newest open eBook, Creative Commons for JCU staff.
This eBook is adapted from a US version of the Creative Commons course, and includes updated examples for the Australian context. It contains plenty of interactive activities that will reinforce learning.
The book is divided into six chapters:
- What is Creative Commons?
- Copyright Law
- Anatomy of a CC Licence
- Using CC Licences and CC Licensed Works
- CC for Open Education
- CC for Open Scholarly Publishing

The JCU Open Educational Resources Program is a project in the Education Division, spearheaded by JCU Library. The aim of the project is two-fold:
- To support lecturers in adopting, adapting and creating Open Educational Resources including textbooks and workbooks in order to better support the learning of our students at JCU
- To make information about the people and places of the Tropics more widely accessible and understood. More than 40% of the world's population live in the Tropics and 40% of the world's surface is within the Tropics, but the area is often underrepresented in teaching materials.
