Managing Information: harvesting the important news stories for you.
Information Managers, Knowledge Managers, Chief Information Officers and librarians need to keep up-to-date and have a good in-depth knowledge of issues relating to information management. We at Aslib understand those issues better than most and can help you keep abreast of latest developments and their implications. Managing Information continues its successful track record of bringing you practical solutions, best practice, news, analysis, campaigning and lobbying activities.
These are exciting and dynamic times in information management with Web/Library 2.0, information literacy, the need to leverage intellectual property assets, regulatory compliance requirements all leading to an ever greater need for leadership in information and knowledge management. Managing Information helps readers deliver that leadership.
Subscribers gain all the benefits of the melting pot of ideas you get from attending a first class conference, without the expense and travel involved in attending! In 2008 Managing Information will be bringing readers more in-depth content in the special subscriber-only web site providing immediate access to reference material, opinions and previous issues of the magazine. read more...

British Library Copyright Questionnaire
The British Library is concerned that the shift from print to digital publishing is undermining the traditional balance at the heart of copyright and could make it harder for researchers to access and use information, and undermine innovation, research and heritage in the UK.
The Library made a significant contribution to the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property, and is a member of the High Level Copyright Group of the European Commission's i2010 Digital Libraries programme.
Now the BL wants to hear the views of users. The results and feedback from the British Library’s Copyright Questionnaire will be incorporated into the response to the UK Intellectual Property Office's 'digital exceptions' consultation. Note: The questionnaire is open to UK residents only.
Managing Information readers and Aslib Corporate Members are urged to complete the questionnaire here:
