Office Hours: MOUs, Contracts and Agreements
Channel: Rebus Community
Date: 2018-06-28

We all need starting points for creating open textbooks. One of those necessary starting points may be a contract, MOU or agreement between the open textbook author(s) and the institution funding the work, between student contributors and faculty working on the textbook, and between the various collaborators. In this office hours session, we’ll discuss agreements, and their role in clarifying expectations and responsibilities during the creation process. 

Guest speakers include Meredith Jacob, Assistant Director, Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property, Public Lead – Creative Commons USA, Washington College of Law and Ann Ludbrook, Copyright and Scholarly Engagement Librarian, Ryerson University.
