Hi Jonathan,

I notice that you live in Edinburgh.  There is a related workshop taking 
place at the University this Friday. Details below.  There will be a 
further workshop (in September I think) where the results of the study 
will be presented and discussed.  Ed Barker (E.Barker AT intrallect.com) 
will be able to give you more details.

Kind regards
Mags McGinley

"Friday 12th August, Baillie Room, Edinburgh University School of 
Divinity, New College, EH1 2LX

Intrallect Limited and the AHRC Research Centre for Studies in IP and IT 
Law are currently carrying out a study on behalf of the Common 
Information Environment (CIE) members into how Creative Commons (CC) 
Licences or their equivalent might be deployed by public sector 
organisations at project, service or institutional level to support 
sharing and reuse of digital content.

This workshop is aimed at any individuals who would use resources 
produced by the public sector in their day to day activities. Examples 
of people who may be interested include: school, college and university 
teachers; college and university students; academics; librarians; 
content aggregators; genealogists; artists; authors; journalists; social 
workers; sociologists; etcetera.

By the end of the workshop, we expect to be able to identify areas in 
which copyright impedes public sector resource use and to determine if 
material published under Creative Commons licences would allow for more 
effective reuse.

If you would like to attend this workshop or require further information 
please contact:
