The strict interpretation of the License that we have chosen for LITABlog would insist that, any use of the content of the blog requires the use of the same license being applied (thus the “share-alike” portion of the license).

So you may adapt the policies to your own needs, given that you license your content as we have.

Make sense? If not, shoot me a direct email and I’ll confer with the powers-that-be: jason-griffey@utc.edu

I also have the same question, and am blog administrator at a public library.

I assume, use and cite? Avoid direct plagiarism…

Thanks.

I am currently developing a blog for the St. Petersburg College Library (SPCLB) and wanted to confirm the terms of your Creative Commons license. The SPCLB is using the same license that LITABlog uses (i.e. Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License) and one condition states that we must request LITA’s permission to “create derivative works, unless their content is also licensed under the same terms as your content.”

So, is it appropriate for me to use your Acceptable Use and Copyright Statement and adapt it to our needs?

Thank you,
