About this event

As you prepare your dissertation, you may have questions about copyright. Can you use articles you’ve published during your time at Northwestern? What about images and texts by other creators? This workshop will help you understand copyright as it applies to your dissertation, from the basics of copyright ownership to exceptions like fair use. No matter where you are in your program, come to discuss real-life examples – and feel free to bring your own.

This workshop is limited to Northwestern University students, staff, and faculty with a Northwestern Zoom account.

This workshop will be online via Zoom by Liz Hamilton, Copyright Librarian at Northwestern University Libraries.
