      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

About Copyright for Librarians

Module by: Berkman Center for Internet & Society

Summary: This module introduces the project Copyright for Librarians. This module is a draft.

Note:

This module is a draft and will be available in full in December 2008. Modules are being reviewed and more are to be added to this collection over time.

This textbook is an introductory copyright law course, with an additional focus on practical and policy questions faced by librarians from the South.

Neither prior legal studies or library science studies are a prerequisite to follow this course.

The collection Copyright for Librarians results from a project of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society and eIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries, a consortium of libraries from 50 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe) developing a distance learning curriculum on copyright targeted to librarians.

The modules of this collection contain a textbook followed by assignments and discussion questions. Distance learning platforms and participation tools may be used to provide interactivity and support assignments and discussion.

More information on the project development, authors and contributors on the project blog.
