THE VELOCITY OF CONTENT SHARING IS ACCELERATING.

From research and industry news to workforce trends and legislative reform,
organizations rely on the reuse of published content to support collaboration
and drive innovation.

So not surprisingly, the rate of work-related content sharing has tripled since
2016.  Yet, 47% of professionals recently surveyed are either unaware of their
organization’s copyright policy or unsure of its details.

In partnership with Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), analyst firm
Outsell, Inc., the voice of the data and information industry, completed the
2020 Information Seeking and Consumption Study to provide cumulative insights
about how copyrighted content is reused and shared in the workplace.

Here's what we learned:

YOUR ORGANIZATION
