Copyright in Canadian Post-Secondary Education: An Overview

In the Fall 2012 term of library school, I presented a lecture entitled “Copyright in Canadian Post-Secondary Institutions,” for my LIS 9130 Information Policy course at the University of Western Ontario.  In this presentation, I illustrated an overview of academic copyright in Canada, addressed some recent copyright events, and considered the future of academic copyright.

Some of the issues I addressed in the presentation included:

•Copyright Context 2012
•Copyright Collectives
•Post-Secondary Educational Tariff
•UWO/U of T Agreements and the AUCC Model License
•Motivation for Signing
•Future of Academic Copyright

Please feel free to download a copy of the presentation for your own use or to distribute it among your colleagues here.

Cheers,
