Some Rights Reserved: Access to Collections Through Creative Commons
Half day events in London and Edinburgh hosted by MDA
Creative Commons is a new way of making digital resources available
to the public using straightforward, online licences. Recently
launched in the UK, it has the potential to enable museums, libraries
and archives to protect their intellectual property rights, whilst
increasing public access to collections.
So could Creative Commons be the solution to balancing the demands of
public access, rights protection and commercial exploitation? This
MDA hosted event gives you the opportunity to explore this rapidly
developing field.
These events will provide:
* Context and key information about Creative Commons
* Case studies exploring the practical application of Creative
Commons licences
* An expert panel to answer questions and debate the issues
Speakers:
Charles Duncan - senior consultant and one of the founding members of
Intrallect, a company which has written detailed reports about the
use of Creative Commons licences by organisations in the public
sector.
Naomi Korn - MDA's Intellectual Property Officer and a freelance
copyright consultant. She has recently completed a report together
with MDA and commissioned by Becta examining the feasibility of using
Creative Commons to licence digital cultural content to schools.
Nick Poole - Director of MDA and a member of the Executive Committee
of the Museum Copyright Group. A leading figure in standards for
collections and information management, he has been involved the
direction of copyright policy for museums for the past 5 years. His
work has included strategic issues relating to open licensing and the
public sector.
