LFS:Workshops/Connect and Copyright

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
