LFS:Workshops/Connect and Copyright

From UBC Wiki

How'd we get here

  • Copyright has always been an issue, digital has exacerbated this
  • UBC left Access Copyright in 2012


Copyright Declaration on Connect

  • Launched this fall
  • Brings Connect in line with other web services UBC offers (I.e. Wordpress & wikis)
  • Not clear how earlier courses are being monitored
  • Going forward compliance is important


Fair dealing

  • 2012 Supreme Court decision
  • Roughly-speaking 10% or one chapter on a password-protected site
  • Same ruling allows for Public Performance exemption


Copyright office

  • UBC will vet all copyright queries
  • Site has FAQs as a background


LOCR

  • Puts the responsibility on the library to clear copyright
  • They also handle archiving and provide PURLs
  • Puts all of students readings in one place
