What and When You Should Cite

Creative Commons

Take advantage of Creative Commons licensing:

Many of you create innovative photography, artwork, music, and writing. You also want to put it out there and share it with the world, but you also want to keep your ownership of it. Well, there are ways to keep control over your work while at the same time sharing it. 

Creative Commons may be the perfect place to put your work out there to be shared, credited, and remixed by like-minded folks. Read on...

"What is Creative Commons?

Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools.

Our free, easy-to-use copyright licenses provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. CC licenses let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of 'all rights reserved' to 'some rights reserved.'

Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright. They work alongside copyright and enable you to modify your copyright terms to best suit your needs."

So, if you have an interest in licensing your own work, this may be the tool for you.
