Essential Copyright for Information Professionals: What You Need to Know
- and Preparing for Change!

15/09/09

Glasgow

Copyright remains one of the most challenging legal issues for
information professionals in all areas of the information industries.
This one-day introductory course will chart a path through the
complexity of the subject. It will cover all essential aspects of
copyright and associated rights. Delegates will be taken step-by-step
through the fundamentals of copyright. Woven into the sessions will be
the latest information on forthcoming changes to UK law on copyright and
how you need to understand and prepare for them now.

The course will be led by presentations but will include real-life
problems and scenarios for discussion, and plenty of opportunity for
questions and answers.

Licences and their Negotiation

24/09/09

London

This practical one day training event is designed to provide Information
Professionals with an introduction to the licensing of electronic
resources such as e books, e journals and abstracting and indexing
services. This course has been designed to introduce the major
components of such licences and why they are important, what are the
issues that are likely to cause the greatest difficulty, and will
introduce issues related to the fine art of negotiating.

The session will include practical exercises to assess participants'
negotiation style, and small group discussion of a sample licence

Getting to grips with developing and managing e-book collections: an
introduction

27/10/09

Newcastle

This course is designed to support librarians who are beginning to set
up e-book collections and facilitate consideration of the new
opportunities e-books offer for librarians and users in academic, public
and special library and information services, and will explore the
significant collection management and promotional issues which challenge
information and library staff.

In addition to talks by the presenters, the course includes practical
exercises.

Making search work

10/11/09

London

Many organisations are finding that the search application on their web
site and intranet, or even a more comprehensive enterprise search, is
not providing the expected benefits. Finding a solution to the problem
is not easy as there are so many variables. Is the search engine
unsuitable for the task, are expectations too high, or is the way that
the search engine has been implemented not best practice?

The objective of this workshop is to help delegates analyse the nature
of the problem that they are facing, and then to provide a range of
solutions for consideration.
