Avoid the heat and stay inside on August 4 for a free webinar on
“Rightsstatements.org: Communicating Copyright Status through
Metadata.”

Rightsstatements.org is a collaborative project of DPLA and Europeana
to create a standard way of communicating the copyright status of
works in digital collections. The project is built on the idea that
accurate and clear rights statements are needed to help both
organizations and users understand how they can use digital
collections. This session, led by members of the working group that
developed the statements, will address what Rightsstatements.org does,
how it was created, and its first stages of adoption by digital
libraries both in the US and abroad.

Speakers:

Emily Gore, Director of Content at DPLA and Right Statement Working
Group Co-Chair

David Hansen, Clinical Assistant Professor & Faculty Research
Librarian at UNC School of Law and Right Statement Working Group
Member

Day/Time: Thursday, August 4 at 2pm Eastern/11am Pacific for our hour
long free webinar.
