Digitization

Hi! Sorry I wasn't more clear. What I meant was the difference in copyright if an archivist were to make a digital copy of a record, but only make that digital copy available in house where access would be tightly controlled, vs. putting that digital copy online where anyone could access it and make copies at will. Does that make sense? I definitely think making Born Digital its own section would be a great addition and it makes sense to make a separate section for it because I do think it is a somewhat separate issue. Good luck!

Yes, that does make sense now. The Canadian Copyright Act was recently updated to allow copying for preservation purposes (with certain conditions) in archives and libraries, which is a good thing. I will have a closer look and do some more research to see if there are any limitations or problems with the new clauses.
