The Research Information Network and UKCGE are pleased to be working collaboratively to develop this workshop on 'Good Practice in Information Literacy for Academic Research.'Information is the lifeblood of academic research.
The Collaborations Workshop (CW) brings together researchers, software developers and funders to form groups that can work together. It’s a forum in which people can talk about their research interests, abilities and requirements, and then meet with people who can fulfil those requirements. There are three aspects to the Collaborations Workshop. A series of lightening talks provides time for delegates to discuss their work. A follow-up session provides time for in-depth discussion between people who are interested in working together.
The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) ran a half-day workshop in conjunction with Naomi Korn Copyright Consultancy and the JISC MRD Programme on copyright issues affecting the reuse of learning and teaching materials. This event introduced participants to basic copyright principles that can affect the reuse of digital learning materials. Naomi worked through real-life examples drawn from the JISC Research Data Management projects.
Freedom of information legislation (the UK and Scottish Freedom of Information Acts, and the Environmental Information Regulations) is highly relevant to researchers in Higher Education: as creators of information and/or data, they need to comply with the requirements of the law with regards to allowing access to their research outputs; and as users, they might make use of FoI as a means of obtaining information and/or data.
A workshop aimed at social researchers at all stages of their career, which will cover key legal and ethical issues surrounding the managing and sharing of data in research with people (surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations and ethnography). The focus of the workshop will be on the provision of guidance and practical exercises, with content based on advice provided to researchers by the UK Data Archive.
