Announcing Open Attribute

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce the launch of Open Attribute, a suite of 
tools that make it simple to copy and paste the correct 
attribution for any Creative Commons licensed work on the web.

http://openattribute.com

Today we released add-ons for Firefox and Chrome that query the 
metadata around a CC-licensed object and produce a properly 
formatted attribution that users can copy and paste wherever they 
need to, in both plain text and RDFa. An Opera add-on will be 
released shortly.

This project was born at the Mozilla Drumbeat festival, and is 
the result of a collaboration between librarians, educators, and 
programmers from around the world. I hope you will try it - I'm 
already finding it incredibly useful.

Sincerely,
Molly Kleinman
University of Michigan Library
