The Course

Digitization is much more than converting a physical or analog object into 
its digital equivalent: it is about efficiently repurposing crucial 
information resources to improve an organization's retention and use of 
business intelligence. Yet most digitization projects are doomed from the 
start because the focus is on the conversion process instead of other, 
important issues.

One of the most critical issues in any digitization project is the affect 
of copyright and other intellectual property concerns. In this two-part 
Click U Live! seminar series, a pair of digitization project management 
experts will identify and discuss the critical intellectual property issues 
that arise in any digitization project, illustrate how such issues affect 
everything from selection to integration, and help participants develop a 
reliable system that helps them identify and move toward resolving the IP 
issues in their own digitization projects.

Part II - Managing Intellectual Property Issues Within the Digitization Project

This second session builds on the basics learned in the first session and 
analyzes how different areas of intellectual property will affect different 
phases of the project plan, including:
    * What "intellectual property" really means (including an introduction 
to the IP landscape);
    * Identifying the copyright issues inherent in digitization projects 
(including the public domain, the library and archival limitations, and 
fair use);
    * Why licensing agreements and subscriptions may curb your digitization 
project;
    * Why confidential and proprietary information must be handled 
differently; and
    * An update on the IP issues in Google Print's Library Project.

Targeted Learners
    * Managers who are considering a digitization project or program.
    * Managers whose digitization program has gone awry.
    * Executives or managers who are funding, or may fund, a digitization 
project or program.
    * Scanning and re-purposing professionals who know little about project 
management.

Critical Learning Questions
    * What is the difference between a scanning project, digitization 
project and digitization program?
    * What questions need to be answered before beginning a digitization 
program?
    * Why is program management more important than scanning?
    * What intellectual property issues can halt your digitization project 
before it begins?
    * What questions do you need to ask vendors when starting a 
digitization program?
