Library staff, information managers, academics, learning technologists, researchers and other practitioners who collect, use, create, share or provide access to published and unpublished resources, such as content, data, databases, personal data and software, need to be aware of the legal and licensing issues that might arise from these activities. This new, fully up-to-date guide will adopt a practical hands-on approach to this complex area, which is viewed from both an operational and strategic perspective.

The issue of information law compliance is more crucial now than ever with the new, more stringent adoption of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) provisions across the Europe Union. It’s not just about what data you handle, but why you have it, where it is held, and who you are sharing it with. It is therefore a vital component of digital literacy.

This resource is based on a Compliance Model developed by Naomi Korn, which has been implemented across many parts of the UK’s public sector. The model is presented here as an approach to information law compliance which can be applied across any organization in order to instigate compliant-aware cultures.

The book includes case studies flow charts, sample contractual clauses and model licences, top tips and checklists. There is also a Glossary of Terms, an annotated guide to further reading, and useful contact lists.

"Oppenheim and associates set out to instruct information groups on how to build a 'compliant culture' within their organization by adopting the Naomi Korn 'Compliance Methodology,' which is a six-tier plan to help information organizations achieve General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance ... While this book is written for a UK and EU audience, GDPR affects information groups and resources across the globe, making this an excellent primer for US information professionals who work with EU counterparts."
