Creative Commons - make sure your stuff is used how you want it to be used
Did Santa make all your dreams come true and bring you a digital camera for Christmas? You'll be snapping pictures and adding them to photo sharing sites like Flickr in no time. Hang on a minute though. Have you thought about how you want your images to be used? Let's talk about copyright and Creative Commons.
Creative Commons licensing lets you choose how you want your digital stuff to be used. It's like copyright but much more versatile. Copyright is on or off - mostly on. With a Creative Commons license you can let people use your image as you see fit. You'll see options used on blogs and websites and now there's a New Zealand version.
There are six different combinations of how you want people to be able to use your stuff and whether they can do so for commercial or non-commercial reasons. Each one has a little icon and is explained in 'human readable language'. If you're interested in the legal words behind each one you can click through to read them.
Rodney Libraries has licensed some of our photos on Flickr with a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0. It's important to us that some of our images are kept for our own use and display but with others we're pleased to share them round.
Happy snapping!

Library Opening Hours
Rodney Libraries will be open for the community right through the festive season.
Santa said we have all been good enough to take Christmas Day and Boxing Day off. The first two days of 2008 are also statutory holidays so we will be closed then as well.
Apart from that we will be open normal hours but without late nights for the next two weeks.
For full details of who will be open when, click on the link on the right hand side of the page or click here Rodney Libraries opening hours
Here at Rodney Libraries we would like to wish everyone a fantastic fun and safe festive season.
