SLA has joined with the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) to develop a new professional development course for librarians and information professionals entitled the Certified Content Rights Manager (CCRM) course.
The CCRM curriculum is designed to help an organization properly manage their content rights.
The SLA-sponsored CCRM course is designed to explain the legal issues surrounding copyright law and how it pertains to licensing, disseminating and use of publications and related content throughout organizations of all sizes. Students completing the course, including a certification exam, will have a deeper understanding of management and employee needs regarding the proper and improper uses of copyrighted content whether in print or electronic form. The CCRM is perfect for corporate librarians & information professionals, corporate counsel, human resource personnel, IT managers, compliance officers, and others who use content throughout their workday or manage those who do.
Better management of your content rights not only helps to lower any liability concerns, but in the long run can help to lower costs by only buying the content that the organizaton truly uses and needs through better license evaluation and negotiation.
Topics covered in the CCRM course include:
- Understanding vital copyright law components and concepts, including the fair use defense and orphan works
- Evaluating and managing different types of content rights within licenses to help lower liability and costs
- Developing, communicating, and maintaining a content rights management plan within your organization
LicenseLogic is the training company of the CCRM and consults in content rights management. In addition, LicenseLogic administers the SIIA-sponsored Certified Software Manager and Advanced Software Manager professional designations.
Who Should Attend
All professionals who purchase, manage or create content and are responsible for ensuring that it is used appropriately and that the content rights are maximized at all levels of the organization.
