Legal Aspects of e-Repositories and e-Collections Conference
31 May - 1 June 2006,  Scarman House, University of Warwick

This year's JISC Legal conference will deal with the legal issues 
relevant to the establishment, development and use of 
e-repositories and e-collections in the UK's further and higher 
education sectors.  The conference will consider the law in 
relation to digital collection building at all levels, whether in 
the shape of institutional repositories and depositories, 
regional and national depositories, project and thematic 
depositories, library e-collections, and even course-specific 
online material collections.

Dr Malcolm Read, the Executive Secretary of JISC, has agreed to 
chair the proceedings.

The event will look at the following issues:

* Ensuring copyright compliance with respect to material deposited
* Ensuring robust licensing of materials for use
* Dealing with copyright in cases of adaptation for reuse
* The legal consequences of digital rights management systems
* The database right in relation to e-repositories and e-collections
* The extent of an e-repository's liability for breach of copyright
* The extent of an e-repository's liability for defamation
* The law regarding accessibility, disability discrimination and
   e-repositories and e-collections
* The submission of personal data in e-repositories, and the
   consequences of data protection law

In addition, there will be particular case studies considering 
copyright, licensing and e-repositories at different levels, and 
particular workshops in relation to medical, art and research 
e-repositories.

Early booking is advised to secure a place on the conference as 
numbers will be restricted due to seating availability in lecture 
theatre. Accommodation and a social event are also available for 
the evening of Tuesday, 30 May, if you want to avoid an early 
start.
