Anyone working in an academic library needs to know about copyright. It underpins almost every part of our service from advising students on avoiding plagiarism to supporting researchers publishing their own work. However, just because staff know they need to know doesn’t mean they are always keen to attend training.

This talk will highlight some of the methods used at Cambridge University Libraries to encourage staff to improve their copyright literacy including new formats such as podcasts, using games based learning and creating short, accessible guides. It will also offer some practical suggestions based on experience which delegates can implement at their own institution to encourage the take up of copyright training.
