Who owns the copyright to my dissertation?  When using an image from another work, do I need copyright permission? If I do, how much does it cost?  What are the benefits of making my thesis open access? Get the answers to these and other questions at the library workshop, Copyright and Your Dissertation, Thesis or Master’s Report.

This workshop will examine the role U.S. Copyright law plays in the thesis or dissertation writing and publishing processes. The use of copyrighted material, publishing agreements and the role of the Digital Commons @ Michigan Tech repository will be explored.  At the end of this workshop participants will be able to identify protected works, choose the best method for incorporating them into their work, and make informed decisions on open access publishing.

Please join us in Library 242 at 12:05pm on Wednesday, October 16th. Registration is required.
