The Publishing Trap (for librarians) New
The creators of the hugely successful Copyright Card Game bring their new board game to Cambridge. Looking at the world of scholarly communication this interactive game aims to offer librarians a better understanding of the implications of copyright on the publication process. Players will be guided through the different stages of a researchers career from PhD submission to Professorship, making decisions on a range of scenarios. The aim of the game is to develop an understanding of how money, copyright and publishing models will impact a career.
This session offers a chance to both play the game with the creators and learn how to guide your own researchers through the game.
