Concluding the FreePint Topic Series "All About Usage"
16th October 2015
We're in a situation where information usage possibilities and limitations are changing fast. For information managers the challenge is to stay ahead of the situation and to advise end-users on the new ways to use information and how to stay within the usage restrictions, whilst working with other departments such as IT on authentication and security, and with vendors to extend rights or embrace new tools and services.
