Web2Rights goes legal!
August 22nd, 2008 by Naomi KornWe are thrilled that the Web2Rights project has just been extended for a further 9 months (running until end of March 2008). During this time, we will be enhancing our current IPR toolkit as well as creating a legal toolkit. The legal toolkit will address other legal issues arising from interaction with next generation technologies, using a similar approach to our IPR work (i.e. diagnostic tools, interactives etc) by harnassing the use of Web2.0 to provide pathways to the resources that we have created.
Whilst our primary audience will continue to be the projects funded under JISC’s U&I strand, like the IPR work, we anticipate that our project outputs will also have a much broader audience. To this extent, we are delighted to be working with JISC Legal to ensure the long term sustainability of our outputs.
We have scheduled in a legal issues workshop for U&I projects on 13th October in London. Please contact me if you are interested in attending.
BTW - you can also find us presenting at the Educa Conference in Berlin 3-5 December 2008!
