First come, first served so get your emails in quickly
It's all free (apart from your transport to Cardiff, of course) and, having attended one of these in the past, I can thoroughly recommend the experience.

EIA event
Hi
You may recall from the last ALLICE meeting and/or it's minutes that we were working with the EIA to develop a customised event for ALLICE members in Birmingham
We now have a commitment from the EIA to deliver a half day (4 hour) event covering the following topic areas
The European Union - how it works
EUR-Lex - legislation, preparatory documents, case law
Websites
National implementing measures
The format of the event will be a series of presentations followed by hands-on exercises. We are hoping to run this event in September
We now need to find a suitable venue for the event but, before I start approaching local academic/training institutions, I was wondering if there might be an ALLICE member who might be able to 'volunteer' suitable accommodation, eg, an IT training facility or similar where both presentation equipment and PCs are available. We had 18 positive responses to the questionnaire but, once a date is fixed that will almost certainly reduce.
Please let me know if you feel you might be able to help with this
Regards
Phil

ASLIB Midlands
Aslib Midlands is looking to recruit new members to its committee.
We're a small, informal, friendly committee and we hold meetings about every 6 weeks in central Birmingham (usually Thursday afternoons but this isn't set in stone). Our members are drawn from organisations who are Aslib corporate members - we have people from workplace, academic and public libraries.
Our main activity is organising a successful programme of events (workshops, visits etc) and most of the committee work is involved with this.
This could be a good opportunity if you're looking to increase your professional networking or to develop skills such as organising events etc.
If you think you might be interested and/or want to discuss it further, please contact me
Margaret Brittin (Acting Chair)

European Information Training Event
A proposal to arrange a session for the Association incorporating some form of training on European information has been posted to the blog and we need your views on what level of interest this might attract and what form it should take.
We have an agreement in principle from the EIA to support the event but we need to outline our requirements to them before they can give a firm commitment
Training on offer from EIA currently includes the following topics and it would be useful if you could say which would be of interest to you
§ The European Union - what it is, what it does, how it works
§ Tracing policy and legislative documents
§ Tracing background and explanatory materials
§ Using EU information networks
§ How the EU legal process works and how to track EU law effectively
§ The planning cycle, SEC documents and COM documents
§ The consultation process (EP, ESC and CoR)
§ Adoption (including ‘How do I know it’s been adopted?’) and transposition into national legislation
§ Case law (including ‘what’s the difference between C-1/05, T1-05
and F-1/05?’)
§ Documentation associated with mergers
It would also be useful if you could express your preference for the form of session – either full day, half day or lunchtime (12-2)
It is envisaged that the session would be run in Birmingham in September

6. Digital Copyright?
Laurence Bebbington of the University of Nottingham explored the issues relating to copyright generally and digital copyright specifically. This interesting talk explained the issues that law librarians face in working within the copyright framework. Laurence highlighted the fact that the issues relating to digital copyright are no different than those relating to any other form of copyright and that the core issues are whether the material is copyrighted and what you want to do with it.
