Abstract - Making copyright cool - a copyright consultancy service for teaching and learning at Brunel University

A case study of setting up a copyright consultancy service at Brunel University, offering University-wide support and guidance to academic staff and students in relation to teaching and learning.

It will look at the methods by which copyright issues are marketed to staff and students at Brunel, looking at the importance of fostering good links with academics, Schools, librarians and even central service departments in order to create a culture where staff and students are clued up about how copyright content should be managed in the teaching and learning environment.
