to be held at
CILIP, 7 Ridgmount Street, London, WC1E 7AE
Wednesday, 24th November 2010, 9.30 - 16.30
Course Outline
Find out the legal issues raised by using Web 2.0 applications in
libraries and information centres. Blogs, wikis, YouTube, podcasts,
Slideshare, Flickr, Connotea, Facebook, Second Life and Twitter all
raise legal problems for those managing them or using them. This
workshop will look at the reality of Web 2.0: what causes problems and
how to assess risks.
The course will start with a brief overview of Web 2.0 and what it
means. It will then look in more detail at how Web 2.0 activities can
cause legal problems. These potential problems include:
* Defamation
* Data protection and privacy
* Pornography and other illegal materials
* Copyright, database right, moral rights and performers rights
* Accessibility
* Contract and employment law
* Conflict of law and international jurisdictions
* The liability of the hosting organisation
There will be an in-depth discussion on identifying and managing risks.
The day will end with a discussion of the legal risks of using cloud
computing services.
The course will include exercises based on scenarios for discussion, and
all the presentations will be available electronically. Attendees are
encouraged to exchange ideas and experiences with each other.
Who should attend?
This course is aimed at anyone using Web 2.0 applications and those
responsible for managing Web 2.0 services, and for those planning to use
cloud computing services.
