We went through copyright and piracy. I never knew how much piracy affected the creators and wanting to work in the creative industries really puts a spin on things. I haven't been one for piracy, but knowing more about it really helps.

I learnt new things about copyright, I wasn't aware that if someone commissions you for something that they are the copyright holder. Also that you have pretty much automatic copyright over your original work.

An introduction to the library, databases, APA referencing and places where students can find all sorts of help. It was great to learn how to use the databases, as I have never used one before. Also there is a library cat called Scooter and I think that is fantastic!

For this course, I will most likely spend a lot of my time in the library.
