On Monday 13 August, Anne Moodie and myself attended the Copyright Kitchen workshop. This was a whole day event that provided a useful overview of copyright issues. It included information about the history of copyright, recent amendments to the Copyright Act and the implications of copyright legislation in the digital environment. We specifically looked at the 'Copyright Kitchen' and the links provided on this site. This online resource can be used by staff and students to find answers to their questions. However, at the moment it is more oriented towards copyright concerns of staff who work in information agencies. This site was developed by several people including the presenter of this workshop, Vanessa Tuckfield. It is constantly being updated and is kept relevant by participation from users. If you can't find an answer to your question in the Kitchen, a simple email to Vanessa will not only get you your answer, but will also add it to the list of questions and answers available for others to use.
There is an extensive list of resource links on copyright including one that was specifically looked at in this workshop http://del.icio.us/CopyrightNews. This is a delicious site that is regularly updated by Vanessa and includes recent copyright information from newspapers, journals etc.
You can find the Copyright Kitchen by following this link. Alternatively it is available as one of the links on the Bremer Library Website at: http://www.bremer.tafe.qld.gov.au/library_and_resources/links_searching/searching/online.html
