New job!!!
I have an announcement to make: I am leaving the law library sector and starting a brand new job! As of January, I will be the Research and Information Officer for Brake, the road safety charity. I am hugely excited about this new role. It’ll be a big change for me: no more corporate law! […]
BIALL/NetIKX Seminar: The Future of Copyright
Back in May I attended a seminar jointly run by BIALL and NetIKX, on “The Future of Copyright”. It was fairly timely for me as I’d just taken over as copyright officer within my team at work, so a refresher seemed like a good idea!

We’d like it to be visible through our intranet – we wouldn’t be able to integrate it […]
Who cares? It’s only copyright!
This is something that’s been rattling around my brain for a while. As an information professional, I am required to care about copyright. I am required to at least try to make sure the lawyers in my firm abide my our CLA licence, and I am required to follow the rules myself (of course). However, […]
