<div dir="ltr">As Melissa stated, CC is a set of licenses used by copyright holders to set how "open" their online work is to others. Look at <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">https://creativecommons.org/</a> for a complete explanation. I like to encourage a CC license for works in our repository, but that is the copyright holder's decision. <div>Best practice would be to have the agreement form for your repository include a section where the author selects which, if any, level of open access they want to provide. If an author intends to publish the work commercially, then they should check with their publisher about the publisher's policies regarding placing the work in a repository. SHERPA/ROMEO, <a href="http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/index.php">http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/index.php</a>, has an extensive, but not complete database of publisher policies. <br><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div><br></div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div><div><pre class="gmail-a-b-r-La gmail-a-b-ja-Eb-Vb" style="font-family:"Courier New",Courier,monospace,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;white-space:pre-wrap;word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Michael Ours

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi – Maybe this is not the right forum, but maybe some of you will know.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we started collecting agreements from thesis authors agreeing to put their theses online, I borrowed from various agreements, including Dukespace. There’s this phrase “[we]
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">will make the submission available to the public using a Creative Commons Attribution / Non-commercial / No derivative works license accompanied by a copyright statement indicating the author’s continuing rights.”</span> That
sounded good to me, but it took me a while to realize that wasn’t EITHER a CC license OR a copyright statement. I had some vague feeling that CC was more modern and supported sharing more than Copyright, but I didn’t know how to support that argument to students
who asked. I’m now wondering if the reason to do both is because CC is an interntional license and US Copyright applies only in the US and nations that have agreed to abide by US copyright.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is what I’ve been putting in the metadata:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDe<wbr>rivatives-4.0 International License, © Copyright <author’s name>, 2017.”<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And then there’s the question of students who want to subsequently publish their content commercially. Should I step back and just put simple copyright statements on these?<u></u><u></u></p>
