Digital Copyright: opportunites and practicalities (16th June 2005)
Presented in association with Naomi Korn, copyright consultant.
Copyright is a current and important topic for many organisations,
particularly those that are considering digitising and delivering digital
content in order to make sure that their rights are not infringed upon and
their assets are
fully exploited. This all-day course will focus upon participant's
experiences and case studies. It will encourage group work and discussion
around key areas, whilst focussing on current topics and real world digital
issues. This course will appeal to everyone currently digitising content or
thinking of embarking on a digital project who wishes to learn more about
rights issues. Participants are invited to bring case studies and outlines
of current projects to the session.
By the end of the day, participants will:
* Encounter the key issues relating to digital copyright
* Know the importance of managing and protecting their rights
* Share experiences and good practice tips with other participants
* Gain knowledge about how best practice can be embedded within their
daily work
Naomi Korn is an experienced trainer and consultant, specialising in
copyright, IPR, licencing and digital rights management. She has worked for
many years with museums, galleries, archives, libraries and the higher
education sector. She was the first copyright officer at the Tate and has
contributed to many international projects. She is currently the Secretary
of the Museum Copyright Group.

Fundraising (22nd June 2005)
Heritage and memory organizations are increasingly engaging in many
different kinds of digital projects large and small. These projects often
need to be funded from outside sources, at least in the early stages, as it
is difficult to create new funding streams for new initiatives. This
workshop will address some of the key issues in planning and costing
digital projects, identifying funders, writing grant proposals, and will
discuss some of the major sources of funding available to not-for-profit
organisations.
Topics covered in this training day include:
* Finding funders
* Matching bids to funders needs
* Proposal development
* Writing and pitching proposals
* Financial issues
o Managing the project/programme finances
o Cost and benefit analysis for planning expenditure
o Tendering and procurement
o Sustaining the funding stream

Sustaining digital projects: funding the future (23rd June 2005)
The long-term sustainability of digital resources is a problem in a world
where projects are conceived of as short-term activities and where funders
have limited resources to commit beyond initial development phases. Regular
updating and upgrading is inevitable, and hardware and software must be
replaced regularly if a resource is to grow and thrive. This course will
identify the key issues in developing a sustainability plan including what
to sustain (resource, people and/or activity), various revenue models and
finding your market niche for future funding.
Topics covered in this training day include:
* What are you sustaining?
* Cost and benefit analysis for planning the future
* Stakeholder studies - knowing your audience
* Revenue models and channels to market
o Advertising model
o Infomediary model
o Merchant model
o Affiliate model
o Community model
o Subscription model
o Utility model
