Hi everyone

Although the ACC is the largest provider of copyright training in our sphere, 
there is a lot of training around. Copyright officers at universities, for 
example, spend big chunks of time developing training materials and training 
people.

The Australian Digital Alliance has recently had a board meeting and AGM, and 
is considering putting together information on its site about training 
opportunities, to encourage diversity of approaches in training. It is also 
important that training emphasise the needs and interests of the copyright 
user, as well as the copyright owner. Check out the ADA website too - 
http://www.digital.org.au - your advocate for balanced copyright, active for 
almost a decade.

cheers


Derek

This discussion is valuable - often librarians and other information 
professionals are introduced to copyright through these channels.
The training sessions are heavily advertised in inserts to the professional 
magazines, such as the Australian Library and Information Association 
(ALIA)'s inCite (http://www.alia.org.au/publishing/incite/).
Fortunately, the library sector is also a strong advocate of fair 
use/dealing, with provisions and policies being heavily debated in the 
blogosphere. (See http://www.travelinlibrarian.info/, for one, and then the 
implementation at http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8056)
We still have to be vigilant though, to ensure that the balanced perspective 
endures :-)
