“The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting every aspect of our lives while rewriting the rules for business, academia, engineering, publishing and the media,” said Tracey Armstrong, President and CEO, CCC. “Copyright Clearance Center acknowledges the remarkable work that publishers have done to adjust to this new reality nearly overnight.”
CCC recently announced its Education Continuity License to enable creative approaches to remote teaching and distance learning made necessary by the pandemic as a result of educators across the U.S. asking questions about using copyrighted content and materials in innovative new ways to support distance learning. In response, CCC coordinated with its community of rightsholders to authorize the use of their materials at no cost by educators as required by the pandemic during this time of emergency. CCC is not delivering educational materials or content to educators; it is offering this new license to authorize U.S. school districts, educators, parents and others to make immediate additional uses of materials that they have previously lawfully acquired.
To accelerate sharing of knowledge and ease online learning, CCC is continually updating its resource page of educational resources open for K-12 and higher education during the COVID-19 crisis. CCC recognizes publishing and other information organizations for contributing to the common good by providing access to relevant COVID-19 content and created this living list to amplify the availability of open-to-read material. CCC has also gathered data visualizations, dashboards, and datasets related to COVID-19. Access those resources here.
