Professor Charles Oppenheim

This three and half hour interactive workshop from 10am to 13:30pm will focus on copyright and issues relating to it, such as licences, and comprises a combination of an introduction, plus a four-round interactive game with Questions and Answers as we go along. It will cover what copyright is, ownership, as well as what you can and cannot do with other peoples' materials.

He has published numerous books, journal articles and reports on Intellectual Property Rights and other legal issues, text and data mining, bibliometrics, evaluation of research quality, and on scholarly publishing trends, including Open Access. He has received the Jason Farradane Award for services to the information profession, and the Aslib award for lifetime achievement to library and information science.
