Outline from today's web conference on Creative Commons is shown here.
Today Deb Coates, Iowa State Extension IT Manager, and I presented "Understanding and Using Creative Commons". The description of the session was: Sharing and obtaining information on the Internet is extremely easy. However, it is confusing to know what products you can use and which are restricted. You may want to share products, such as pictures and presentations, but don't know how to share with appropriate license or copyright. In the past, sharing products meant that you gave away your products with no control or that you restricted control of the distribution of your products by full copyright (all rights reserved). Creative Commons licenses provide options between the extremes of giving your rights away and all rights reserved. This session will describe Creative Commons license options, describe how to use Creative Commons licenses, and how to use products and content that are licensed using Creative Commons. This Professional Development session is offered in partnership with the ACE Information Technology SIG.

FYI...on the example of using creative commons at the Bugwood Network:
You have to go to one of the image sites to actually see the license in use. If you have any questions about why we chose the licenses we use. Feel free to contact me.
Thanks Anne for bringing a bit more attention to Creative Commons. I hope CC will continue to grow in recognition and use. It just makes so much SENSE.
In one encouraging move, the University of Minnesota's VP for Academic Affairs & Provost endorsed Creative Commons in a November 2008 announcement to faculty and staff.
Onward and upward!
(BTW, a slightly better way to access my Flickr forestry photos is via the Minnesota forestry collection. Thanks for the mention!)
