The library is developing a copyright literacy strategy for the University. The aim is to make things simpler for staff and students by having clear policies and guidance for copyright-related issues.
We need feedback from university members to help shape the strategy and ensure it meets the needs of everyone at the University. We are running the following consultation sessions for academic and professional services staff. Come along and tell us about the copyright-related concerns and challenges you face.
If you can’t attend the sessions, we’d still love to hear from you. Contact us: library@abdn.ac.uk.
