Speaker: Charles Oppenheim, Visiting Professor at the University of Queensland, Brisbane Date: Monday, 9th January 2012 Time: 6.30pm Venue: The Sekforde Arms, Sekforde Street London EC1 Map: http://digbig.com/3pmf <http://digbig.com/3pmf> The current copyright framework is far from suited to the digital age: it has failed to keep pace with technological advances, lagging behind the ways in which knowledge and information are being created, used and transmitted. Increasingly, researchers are inhibited from using the resources they need. The Hargreaves Review, instigated by the Prime Minister, has recommended wide-reaching changes that will impact everyone in the information world. In this talk, Charles will cover the background to Hargreaves, how the Government has responded to the recommendations, and what is likely to happen to UK copyright law in the near future. Charles Oppenheim has been an influential Professor and (Head of Department) at Loughborough University <http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/dis/> 's Department of Information Science for many years. He has held a variety of posts in academia and the electronic publishing industry, working for International Thomson, Pergamon and Reuters at various times. Charles is a member of the Legal Advisory Board of the European Commission, and of the Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance For those unable to attend, a podcast of this talk will be available.
