APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that copyright law can impede the effective reuse of
digital and non-digital resources. A means of addressing this problem is
for public sector organisations to publish some of their resources under
common licences which would grant more permissive use.
Intrallect Ltd and the AHRC Research Centre for Studies in IP and IT Law
are currently organising a users’ workshop in order to determine how
such common licences could allow more effective reuse of resources.
The workshop will be aimed at any individuals who would use resources
produced by the public sector in their day to day activities. Examples
of people who may be interested include: school, college and university
teachers; college and university students; academics; librarians;
content aggregators; genealogists; artists; authors; journalists; social
workers; sociologists; etcetera.
People attending this workshop can expect to gain a better understanding
of how copyright law affects their use of resources and what the
implications would be for making use of materials which have been
licensed for more permissive use under licences such as Creative
Commons. I would be most grateful if you could pass this email on to
people who may be interested in attending.
The workshop will be a full day event on Friday 12th August at Edinburgh
University Law School. Although we will not pay travel expenses, lunch
will be provided. Please note that places are limited and can be booked
using the email or phone numbers given at the end of this message.
I have attached two documents to explain more about the project and the
workshop but if you require more information, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Regards,
Ed Barker,
Intrallect Limited.
