Paul Pedley has produced a new copyright and information law website, Keeping Within the Law: minimize your risk of legal infringement. The new website is found at www.kwtl.co.uk.
Overstretched library and information professionals need to keep up to date with the raft of legislation and case law relating to information use, and its implications for the profession.
Consulting a copy of the legislation is not straightforward, given that the Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988 has been amended many times over the past two decades. The new copyright and information law website, from Facet Publishing, the publishing arm of CILIP, gives 24/7 access to authoritative, up-to-date information on all aspects of information law. With increasing concerns about risk and tougher measures to crack down on non-compliance, Keeping Within the Law can help library and information professionals proactively minimize the risk of legal infringement and effectively manage their compliance strategies.
KWtL sets out the relevant legislation and case law together with best practice guidance in a clear, logical and fully searchable format, to simplify the task of library and information professionals in advising on information use.
The website contains:
1,800+ authoritative information resources with fully searchable access to an incredibly rich and continually growing database, divided into four key subject areas
a subscriber-only monthly newsletter - providing on the job
advice and comment
up-to-the-minute legal intelligence - Paul Pedley, Head of
Research at the Economist Intelligence Unit, selects targeted regular news relevant through subscriber-only news alerts
useful resources, links to websites, factsheets, government
reports, surveys, best practice guidelines
