WS 6.1 – Rights issues

4-5 March 2008, Ljubljana, Slovenia
For this workshop series members have prioritised:
- Providing guidelines for users/teachers/producers
- Rights management (Digital Rights Management, Creative Commons, Protection of rights, Identity management…)
- Rights clearance practices
- Strategies for providing copyright cleared material for education
34 representatives from 19 members participated. The workshop agenda featured a mix between interactive group sessions and presentations from members and external experts:
- Mindmapping session exploring the current practise of repositories in relation to rights issues and identifying the most important focus points.
- Matthias Klang (legal lead Creative Commons, Sweden) led an Ask the expert session to clarify questions from members and point to best practise examples.
- Group based discussion session (documented via Members Zone forum) on what guidance should be provided to teachers when using or depositing digital content from/in repositories. Focus was on establishing knowledge on current practise and how, when and where information should be presented in order to be most effective.
