    develop, and deliver a professional development and continuing education certification program
    for librarians. The certificate will help librarians acquire Creative Commons knowledge and
    skills leading to increased capacity, services, and support for a wide range of 21st century library
    functions associated with Open Access (OA), open data, Open Educational Resources (OER),
    and public domain materials. The Creative Commons certificate for librarians will include both a
    modular set of learning materials that can be used independently for informal learning, and a
    formal, structured, and facilitated certificate the can be taken for official certification.
