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.
