Copyright Card Game – delegates and exhibition visitors can sign up to play this learning game on the 5th December Copyright is an important subject for all information professionals but one that often causes anxieties. Some of the anxiety is related to the complexity of copyright law and the fact the law is open to interpretation. Many institutions employ dedicated copyright officers to deal with specialist queries, but it’s important that all information professionals learn the basics of copyright to help them in their professional lives. This workshop will be a taster session based on Copyright the Card Game delivered by Chris Morrison and Jane Secker, the team behind the game’s development. The game has proved a valuable way of teaching librarians about copyright in an engaging and fun way. During this workshop participants will play an abridged version of the game, as well as get ideas about how to use the resource in their own teaching and professional development. Copyright does not need to be a subject to be afraid of and through using the Card Game, participants will have a clear framework for tackling copyright queries that they receive as well as a useful set of resources of where to go to get further information. Sign up here – places are strictly limited and this popular feature will be full very soon.
Challenges in the scholarly publishing cycle ‘The day will provide an opportunity to strengthen working practices and partnerships’ Another feature that is filling up fast is Challenges in the Scholarly Publishing Cycle – pre-conference day 4th December in collaboration with Research Information. Organised by Research Information magazine, in partnership with London Info International, this one-day event, forming a pre-conference day to LII, will address the most difficult issues in scholarly publishing from the perspectives of three key stakeholder groups – publishers, information professionals and academics. Building on a speciallycommissioned piece of research, to be outlined in the opening keynote, the day will provide representatives from each of the three sectors an understanding of problems faced by those in the other stakeholder groups, and give an opportunity to strengthen working practices and partnerships among all parties. Content for the day which will include original research work is being arranged by the team at Research Information, led by Tim Gillett (Editor) and Warren Clark (Publisher). Attendance on 4th December is available for a single fee or it can be combined with the main conference days. To find out more click here.
