This is the home of UK Copyright Literacy for everyone interested in copyright education. Copyright Literacy is defined as "Acquiring and demonstrating the appropriate knowledge, skills and behaviours to enable the ethical creation and use of copyright material." This site is for everyone interested in fostering a better understanding of copyright and intellectual property rights issues in the UK. It is aimed primarily at people with responsibility for communicating and modelling ethical practices relating to copyright and related rights, such as librarians, archivists, curators, teachers, researchers and copyright support staff.
