It also considered the implications of copyright for websites and intranets, including the issues to take into account when deep linking.

The session covered:

	The question of when databases might be covered by copyright and / or by database right
	The electronic licences that are currently available from the Copyright Licensing Agency and the Newspaper Licensing Agency and what they cover
	What issues need to be considered when deep linking
	The changes to UK copyright law which are currently in the pipeline because of the need for the UK government to implement the new copyright directive by the end of 2002

Testimonial

Feedback about previous Exchange event:

Paul Pedley is an excellent speaker. Very knowledgeable. Would definitely come to another event. Price was reasonable as well.

The seminar leader was Paul Pedley, Head of Research, Economist Intelligence Unit.

The seminar was run as an interactive session in which delegates were encouraged to share their experiences of trying to ensure that their working practices are copyright compliant. To get the most out of the session, delegates were invited to bring along examples of any practical difficulties with copyright that they were either currently facing or have had to deal with recently.

Paul is writing a book on legal issues in information work for Facet Publishing. He represents Aslib on the Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance <http://www.cilip.org.uk/laca>, and is a member of the steering group for the JISC Legal Information Service.

All attendees received a handout on electronic copyright matters including a checklist of issues to consider if you intend to "deep link" to sites; plus a listing of useful websites and contacts, including items covering the licensing of electronic resources.
