Google<\/a> provides an advanced search that allows you to limit your search to a variety of openly licensed items. There are also open repositories and aggregators that specifically provide access to openly licensed material for use in educational settings.\u00a0 To learn about these spaces and how to search them, go the UBC Library Open Education LibGuide<\/a>.\r\n

Permissions & Attribution Tracking<\/h2>\r\nBefore you start identifying complementary resources to use in your open text, you need to develop a process of capturing the permissions and details about the objects to ensure that you are using the resource properly in your text and that you are accurately attributing the work.\r\n\r\nA permissions and attribution tracker will help you track all necessary information for attribution (i.e., title, author, source, and license).\u00a0 You should keep track of attribution information as you search to ensure that all additional elements are compatible with your resources overall license before you begin writing content.\u00a0 Failing to adequately track attribution information from the outset may require time-consuming edits at later stages of the writing process.\r\n\r\n \r\n
