This training will take place in Auditorium 2 at the State Library of Queensland (see Level 2 map) and will be live streamed. Onsite capacity is limited.

Copyright – it touches on almost all areas of practice in libraries and archives, yet many do not feel confident in dealing with it on a day to day basis. Recognising the need, the Australian Libraries and Archives Copyright Coalition (ALACC) continues to provide copyright training to members and non-members nationwide.

This training aims to arm librarians and archivists with the knowledge and skills to tackle copyright in their institutions. From document delivery to open access, we cover it all and take questions from the floor.

Content

Two sessions will be run between 10 am and 4 pm.

The sessions are aimed at attendees with different levels of knowledge and experience, and the two are designed to work as discrete sessions or as a single full-day copyright primer. These two sessions are:

Copyright Essentials (morning) – intended for those who want to learn or brush up on their copyright basics.
Copyright Extended (afternoon) – looks at the latest updates and copyright practices; assumes either a base knowledge of copyright or attendance at the morning session. This session will end with a hot topics panel, featuring local experts talking about the latest topics shaping their own work.

The day is designed so that you can attend any of the sessions individually or combine them for a fuller program. They will be held in the same location, with a break for lunch in between. Please register for all sessions you plan to attend - places fill up fast. No catering is provided however there are a number of cafes in walking distance.

Cost

Both sessions are free for ALACC member organisations and their employees – so if you or your institution* are a member of ALIA, NSLA, CAUL, AGLIN, CAARA, ASLA, ASA or other member organisations, the only cost is your time. They are also open to non-members; however a price is charged. Members of the ALACC's sister organisation, the Australian Digital Alliance (ADA), receive a discount on this price.

*Please note: There is a limited capacity allocation for employees of institutions that are organisational members of ALIA. If you are not a member of ALIA as an individual and you wish to attend the training, please first contact the institution through which you are affiliated with ALIA. Each ALIA affiliated organisation has up to 3 free tickets per session to attend in person. There is no limit on the number or participants attending online.

If time permits, the presenter will also use this time to provide detailed responses to questions from the audience.
