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. |
