Copyright Policies, Dealing with Infringements and Risk
Management, 8 December 2008, at Aslib, London
Programme
Features Copyright
and licensing are important strategic issues for information professionals, the
effective management of which can reduce the risks of copyright infringements
and create more efficient working practices. This workshop will develop a
toolkit for dealing with infringements of copyright , managing risk and
developing suitable policies and procedures. Participants will consider staff
and user expectations, planning requirements, restrictions and how to create an
environment where copyright is handled appropriately. The afternoon will build
upon the areas covered in the morning by facilitating the development of an
institutional copyright policy covering both the internal management of rights
as well as copyright and licensing compliance for the use of third party
materials held by the institution. The session will be concluded with an
examination of how copyright policies can be successfully implemented and
enforced. Using a lively presentation style, the trainer will encourage active
participation in a relaxed and friendly learning environment.
