Today's morning session involved preparation Thursday's conference and a discussion about the issues raised by the course


The afternoon session was held at the Office of Public Sector Information, a division of theNational Archives by Alan Pawsey, Head of Publishing. The Office is located at the heart of British government in Westminster at the Ministry of Justice building. It's job is the publication of all Crown and Parliamentary information that is publicly available. The theme of the lecture was on e-government publishing. Pawsey discussed the Office's responsibilities; how government copyright is handled (it is owned by the Queen and licensed thorough Creative Commons); and publishing techniques (via the internet and print-on-demand services).
