Workshops on Copyright for Theses and Dissertations, Emory University Libraries

Category : News/Events

Will your thesis or dissertation raise copyright considerations? Learn about navigating copyright and author rights in a digital environment. The workshops will answer questions such as:

  • Everyone quotes the work of other scholars in their dissertation. If the quotes are acknowledged, does this ever raise copyright issues?
  • I found a photo online on a website. Can I include it in my dissertation since everything’s free on the internet
  • Should I pay to register copyright for my dissertation?
  • I have this great film clip from the 1940s with images and music that I’d like to include with my dissertation. Are there different copyright rules for audio-visual formats?

There will be two workshops, both virtual and hosted by Emory University Libraries.
