2nd LIBER International Workshop 2012

This workshop will provide an overview of the best-known collaborative initiatives: the stakeholders involved, the basic set-ups, the legal foundations, the business models – and help you analyse which alternatives are best suited for your organisation, your type of collection and your national culture. We will deal with organisational issues, legal issues, financial issues and technical issues that will influence your choices. Critical questions will be asked by experts in the field, and there will be plenty of time to ask your own questions. Lastly, the workshop will showcase a number of best practices. You will go home with a keen understanding of the types of collaborative practices available which will enable you to start discussing long-term curation policies with your management team.
