Copyright & Your Emory Thesis or Dissertation Sessions

Description 

Will your thesis or dissertation raise copyright issues?  Learn about navigating copyright and author rights in a digital environment!

The workshops will answer questions like …

• Everyone quotes the work of other scholars in their dissertation. As long as 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?
• Chapter 1 of my dissertation has been published in a journal. Is this a problem?

If you cannot attend any session but still think you may have a question, please contact the Scholarly Communications Office at scholcomm [at] listserv [dot] cc [dot] emory [dot] edu for help.
