Using images, video and other resources effectively (Dissertation Workshop)
In this session, Tom Rowley, library supervisor for digitisation and copyright, provides an overview of copyright and how to use images and videos effectively in an educational context.
The session covers the definition of copyright, its governance in the UK under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988, and the concept of fair dealing.
Tom explains how to use images and videos in a copyright-compliant manner, discussing the importance of attribution, Creative Commons licenses, and the use of resources such as Wikimedia Commons, Pexels, and Unsplash.
He also addresses the risks and considerations when using YouTube videos and provides guidance on seeking permissions from rights holders.
