New HDR copyright course

The University Library has developed a new CaRST-accredited course covering all things copyright for higher-degree-by-research students. Considering copyright in the planning stage of a research project avoids having to address later hurdles when submitting a thesis or when looking into publishing options. The course covers copyright principles, using materials for research and study, processing copyright clearances and assessing publishing agreements, among other aspects. Completion accrues two CaRST points. HDR students can enrol here.
