Dear All

The Central Library, IIT Bombay shall be organizing 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
applications 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.

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.

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 participants or their sponsoring organizations. Participants
desiring registration fee concession may kindly submit their application
thru parent organization. For more details please visit :
