Need

Professionals working in cultural heritage need copyright literacy to know how to assess and understand the degree of risk involved in communicating copyright protected content digitally to others both within and across borders.   OCEAN was created to meet this need.

Our vision is to inform and empower professionals in the cultural heritage community, recognizing that copyright and related issues are foundational to our networked, digital world. There is a convergence of copyright issues across cultural heritage organizations, such as museums, libraries, and archives and by addressing these points of convergence at scale, we can affect positive change.

Affecting Change

Scaling Up

OCEAN amplifies the capacity of copyright experts working with or within libraries, archives and museums to deliver quality education specifically designed to cover copyright issues critical to library, archive and museum missions. It’s a fundamental issue of scale and a significant infrastructure requirement.
