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.
