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.
