source information about copyright relevant to an organisation
review policies, procedures and licences to ensure compliance with legislation
follow procedures to minimise risk of infringements of copyright and licence conditions.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
relevant current legislation and regulations
organisational policies and procedures, agreements and licences
appropriate computer resources for review of policies and procedures.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with third-party workplace reports of review of portfolio of evidence
verbal or written questioning to assess knowledge of copyright and licensing, and implications for the organisation
research project to assess knowledge of legislation in relation to organisational policies and procedures.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular client groups (consider the requirements of different age groups, clients with English as a second language, clients with disabilities, remote library users, etc.).
