Copyright and Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property is essential to understanding how the literary, artistic, and scientific creations we use and produce in academia are protected and managed. Knowing the rights that affect books, images, videos, software, and teaching materials — as well as the licenses that regulate their use — allows us to work responsibly, ensure respect for authors, and prevent misuse.

What we offer at IQS Library

• Case studies to help you use and share content safely
