OER at Georgian

Can I really adapt/adopt someone else's work?

It might seem strange in the context of traditional copyright, but yes! OERs are specifically licensed to allow for different types of reuse and adaptation.

But, it's still important to know and understand the specific OER licenses AND traditional copyright!

• Combining & adapting OER materials?  Be sure to check the different Creative commons licenses that are used to specify how a source can be used/reused!
• Combining OERs and other resources? Check with the Library's Copyright team to ensure copyright compliance!
