[LIS-Forum] Workshop on E-Resources and IPR issues 14-16 June 2006

[D Jotwani]

Dear All

The Central Library, IIT Bombay has planned to organize a 3-days Training
Workshop on e-Resources and IPR Issues on 14-16 June 2006.  The main
objective of the workshop is to expose participants to the relevance of
IPR issues vis-a-vis usage of e-resources.  Thanks to the success of the
Consortia model of acquisition, libraries have been able to provide access
to several thousands e-books and journals to their users without the
constraints of space and time.  While application of Information and
Communication Technologies and  Consortia approach have benefited large
number of libraries and their users, it has added  responsibilities  to
ensure that the usage is made within the framework of Intellectual
Property Rights and the interests of the creators of information/knowledge
are protected.  Library and information professionals providing
e-resources-based information services have important role to play in this
area and this workshop will provide them with a broader view of the
implications of IPR while discharging their responsibilities and serving
their users.  The important topics to be covered in the workshop include :

1.Overview of the state of art information communication technologies in
the libraries,
2.e-journals, e-books, e-databases
3.Intellectual Property rights vis-a-vis e-resources
4.Vendors’ presentations
5.RFID

Only 30-35 participants, on first-come-first-served basis, will be taken
for the course from IITs, IISc, NITs, other engineering colleges,
scientific and technical institutions.  Preference will be given to those
from INDEST/AICTE Consortium participating institutions.  Interested
persons may forward their application in the enclosed proforma by email /
fax at the earliest to the Librarian, IIT Bombay.   Two participants from
the consortium participating institutes will be provided free
registration. Other participants will be charged Rs 1000-/ as registration
fee which includes workshop kit, hostel accommodation, working lunch, and
tea/coffee during sessions.   TA/DA will have to be borne by the
