While UNBC has subscribed to licenses for thousands of journals and databases and purchased licenses for journals and eBooks, there are many other resources that are freely available for reuse. This includes media, such as photographs or videos, resources such as books and journals, and even textbooks, learning materials, and lesson plans. A few of these are highlighted below.
All Creative Commons licenses require that users of the work attribute the creator. Attributions should include:
There is no one "right" way to attribute a Creative Commons work: provide the necessary information about the work, but also be reasonable. Attribution will look different depending on assignment format, citation style, and any further requirements from your instructor. The goal is to enable your reader to find the material you used, to know if it's been altered, and to understand how they can use it too. *These bullet points are from "Copyright at UBC: Creative Commons Guide", (c) Scholarly Communications and Copyright Office, CC BY-SA 4.0.
