It is designed for staff working across all library, information and knowledge management sectors and great for newcomers to licensing or those who need a refresher on how licences function when obtaining permission and sharing copyright materials.

Delegates need to attend both half-day sessions to complete the course.

Focused, detailed and clear information given by a highly knowledgeable, confident and informed presenter. Really useful and has given me a really sound understanding of creative commons licensing.
