Dear Chartership candidates (and other list members) Copyright seems to be 'event' flavour of the month in May and this event organised by ILIG may be of interest, however, spaces are limited and we only have 10 left so please book soon. It's got an impressive speaker line-up with the CEO of the Publisher's Licensing Society, IFLA's Director of Policy and the President of EBLIDA all signed up. Full programme, speaker biographies and online booking form are available online at www.cilip.org.uk/ilig And if anyone has any suggestions on how I can lure a few more publishers along as delegates, I'd love to hear them.....
