New IPAC & Survey
Introducing the new Intellectual Property Awareness Center (IPAC) for NKU constituents and guests. The purpose of the new IPAC is to assist creators and consumers of intellectual property. Take a short survey now to help us construct this new Center. Once operating full-scale, IPAC will provide information resources, workshops, and more to support libraries, educators, and the community. Please note that IPAC will not provide legal advice.

See our Fair Use transformer named Stego in the Handouts section. Stego is a combination stegosaurus dinosaur and VW Beetle automobile.
NKU's W. Frank Steely Library is pleased to present class lessons, films, and activities on plagiarism and copyright awareness for the classroom, funded by a generous grant from the Cincinnati Bar Foundation. Collaborative community support was provided by NKU, the University of Louisville, and regional partners such as CET (Greater Cincinnati Television Educational Foundation), KYVL (Kentucky Virtual Library), and the Campbell County (Ky.) Public Library.
Tied to national and state educational standards, this program offers everything needed to present engaging content for teens and young adults in multiple disciplines from junior high school through freshman level college courses. It could also be utilized for public library teen programs and community youth groups. The lesson content promotes research honesty and copyright consciousness for students. Both ethical and legal discussions are presented.
NEW: Intellectual Property Awareness Center
NKU’s Steely Library and Creative Thinking are pleased to announce the introduction of the IPAC (Intellectual Property Awareness Center) for both NKU constituents and public guests. The purpose of the new IPAC is to educate creators and consumers of intellectual property about issues such as copyright & fair use, plagiarism, patents & trademarks, and related legal and ethical aspects. To assist us in constructing this new Center, we welcome comments and feedback via a short survey from current and potential new patrons. Once operating full-scale, the IPAC will provide wide-ranging associated information resources, workshops, conferences, classes, and more to support libraries, educators, and the community. It is important to note that the IPAC will not provide legal advice. Upon completion of our short IPAC customer survey (as a token of our appreciation), we would be pleased to send you a free copy of our Creative Thinking films DVD (while supplies last) to any U.S. postal mail address. Once again, we appreciate your support of Creative Thinking and the IPAC programs at NKU.
