Digital Rights Management, 20th March 2007, at Aslib in London Programme Features Most libraries and organisations working with information will create, store, manage and supply digital information. In order to make sure that these practices are compliant with the copyright legislation and also to ensure that these activities are carried out within a controlled environment, it is essential that they look towards solutions offered by ICT, such as Digital Rights Management. This one day workshop will provide an overview of the key areas, solutions and legal landscape relating to Digital Rights Management for library and information professionals set within an informal learning environment. Participants will be encouraged to work in groups in order to share ideas and discuss various issues. Topics covered include: * Providing an overview of the current legal landscape * Why is rights management important? * What do we mean by Digital Rights Management (DRM)? * What are TPMs and what are the issues for library and information specialists? * Benefits of DRM and when it might be used ? * Relationship between DRM, digital preservation, digitisation and licensing * What systems should be used to manage rights? * Embedding DRM within daily work * Industry standards * Recent studies and reports about DRM Why you should attend: Digital Rights Management is useful at every stage during the creation, supply and use of digital content as well as providing the basis for transactions relating to digital content. It is a topic that is being discussed at the highest levels and will impact more and more upon the work of librarians and information professionals.
