If an entire textbook has been changed or adapted, see the Adaptation Statement<\/a> chapter for guidance.<\/div>\r\nAll Creative Commons licences<\/a> contain an attribution (BY) clause. This means that you must include a statement that gives credit to, or attributes, the creator of the work from which you have borrowed, whether it's text, an image, a video, or other item. If you have made a change, indicate that in your attribution statement.\r\n\r\nAs far as how and where to place attribution statements for text or media taken from another source or sources, best practices state that you should place them at the bottom of each chapter for which borrowed text or media have been used. Clearly mark all of these with a heading called: \"Attributions.\" Several attribution statements can be listed under this heading.\r\n
