The Copyright Community of Practice are regular informal meetings based on the ideas of Lave and Wenger, which allow individuals who share a particular profession or craft to share and develop tacit or implicit knowledge and expertise. These events are open to all staff at LSE and aim to:

• Allow the subject specialist to share expertise without the need for experiences to require a documented ‘intervention’ as with formal copyright queries
• Provide an opportunity for Library, IMT and other LSE staff to discuss potential copyright issues relating to specific areas of work
• Create a body of knowledge that is first and foremost based on practice, experience and narratives
• Support continuing professional development of LSE staff by making better use of in-house copyright specialist
