January 1 is celebrated as Public Domain Day to increase awareness of copyright and public domain, and to highlight the books, films, and other works that are free of copyright protection. Read on to see which images, books, music, and other creations joined the public domain today.

The Office of Provost and University Libraries celebrate the creative, distinguished, and dedicated work of the Florida Atlantic University community. Florida Atlantic faculty and staff are invited to submit their work published during the previous school year (July 2022 - June 2023). Qualifying works include book authors and co-authors (print & electronic), editors and co-editors who have written some part of the book, artists who published or produced creative work, musical compositions, theatrical productions, art and photography, audio and video recordings, journal articles, and conference proceedings.   

Bring your cards, bring your stamps, and let's get those holiday cards in the mail! We'll be gathering in the Jaffe Book Arts Gallery for a special in-house Real Mail Fridays session devoted just to midwinter holiday cards on Tuesday December 12. Bring your Christmas cards, bring your Chanukah cards (Chanukah continues to December 15!), bring your Kwanzaa cards and Yule cards and New Year cards, and don't forget your postage stamps, too. We'll supply the gathering spot and simple art supplies and a Very Jaffe Soundtrack of delightfully unusual music for the season.
