Members of the CNI community will be interested to learn about a new copyright education program from Columbia University Libraries and LYRASIS, to offer online classes on copyright through the Virtual Copyright Education Center (VCEC) pilot project. My understanding is that the courses will be taught by legal experts with various cultural heritage backgrounds, including libraries, archives, museums, and education, and that the first course, designed to be foundational, will be free.
For more information, see the announcement from Columbia University Libraries:
