What is Creative Commons?
Creative Commons is a system of licensing that sits alongside Copyright Law and allows the legal use and reuse of media. When you see a Creative Commons license, it means that the copyright holder of that work has decided to share their work with you - and with everyone else. See the following libguide for more information.
The Complete Creative Commons LibGuide
There are six different Creative Commons licences, each with their own limitations and requirements. You can find out more about the licences on the Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand website's licences page.
This licence lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon a work, even commercially, as long as they credit the creator for the original creation.
This licence lets others remix, tweak, and build upon a work non-commercially with credit to the creator (all new works must also be non-commercial).
This licence lets others remix, tweak, and build upon a work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit the creator and license their new creations under the identical terms.
ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-SHAREALIKE
This licence lets others remix, tweak, and build upon a work non-commercially, as long as they credit the creator and license their new creations under the identical terms.
This licence allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to the creator.
ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-NO DERIVATIVES
This licence is the most restrictive of the six main licences, only allowing others to download a work and share them as long as they credit the creator. They can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.
Remember: ALWAYS make sure before you use a work that you are using it in accordance with the terms of its Creative Commons licence. Otherwise, you are in violation of copyright.

There are several different sections of the Copyright Act that may be relevant to you as a student.
You own the copyright to material you create as a student. This won't apply if you have been commissioned or funded by an external agent to create the work.
Under Fair Dealing provisions, you can copy an insubstantial part of a work. What is considered substantial depends on the material you are copying. E.g., you couldn't copy a small, but unique part of a poem. For more information about Fair Dealing, see the Copyright Council of New Zealand handout.
As a student you can use some media in certain circumstances. For example, you can make a handwritten copy of a literary work for educational purposes. For more information about what you can copy for educational purposes, see the Copyright Council of New Zealand handout.
There are also copyright provisions for photographers, visual artists, writers, songwriters and composers.
You must always acknowledge where you obtained information from, e.g. by creating an APA reference.
Creative Commons Search
Creative Commons Search is NOT a search engine, but rather offers convenient access to search services provided by other independent organizations. Always double check that the works you find are Creative Commons licenced before you use them.
