IN DEPTH
CILIP Copyright Conference 2022
May sees the return of the CILIP Copyright Conference with Naomi Korn Associates taking charge of the programme to deliver a must-attend event for anyone looking to stay informed about the latest changes, opportunities and developments. Read on to find out more from Naomi about why you should attend.
COPYRIGHT is an ever-present for information managers and librarians – touching on all aspects of services and delivery. Continuing develop- ments and interpretations of copyright, particularly in light of Brexit, whose impact is still being felt, means that it is as important as ever to keep on top of changes and the real-world implica- tions they may have on the library and information profession.
CILIP has long been aware of the impor- tance of supporting members through the often complicated area, with its Copyright Conference becoming a regular event for the profession. This year is no different, with CILIP’s Copyright Conference taking place in May (
www.cilip.org.uk/CopyrightConf22). Keynotes from Professor Dinusha Mendis and Professor Tanya Aplin will open and close the conference, alongside expert presentations and debate. Other speakers include Margaret Haig, Head of Copyright Operations at the Intellectual Property Office; Academic Librarian Caroline Ball, who is also an influential campaigner in the #ebookSOS fight to get fairer licensing deals for ebooks in libraries; and James Bennett, Head of Rights and Licensing, Copyright Licensing Agency. As in previous years, the conference Naomi Korn will chair the conferece.

However, at the same time because any changes to the legislation are often long in the making and slow to transpose into the UK’s legislative framework, copyright laws are frequently out of pace with the rapidly changing digital spaces in which librarians and information professionals operate. Let’s be honest, copyright laws are over 300 years old in the UK, instigated by publish- ers and many of the key principles upon which they were formed still evident in our legislative framework today.
