Charles has been involved in, given talks on, and published on Intellectual Property Rights and other legal issues relevant to library and information work and to academic research. He has published well over 500 journal articles, conference papers, reports and books, including co-authoring “Information Law: Compliance” together with Naomi Korn and Adrienne Muir, which was published by Facet Publishing in 2020.
