JISC

 

The content of these concise events is directed at those individuals who are making strategic decisions with regard to Web 2.0. The aim is to provide sufficient knowledge of the legal risks associated with Web 2.0 use at institutions to enable senior managers to be able to assess whether the legal safeguards which they already have in place are sufficient to withstand the new demands of Web 2.0. With a number of legal measures in place an institution will be better protected should difficulties arise.
