Copyright Consultations Submission

This submission details reforms that the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) believes are necessary to balance fairly the interests of copyright holders and users of copyrighted materials so as both to encourage creation by ensuring payment for use and to safeguard equitable public access to and use of ideas. New copyright legislation must not restrict fair dealing. It must not make it illegal to circumvent a digital lock to use a copyrighted item for purposes that do not infringe copyright (doing so is not required by Canada‘s treaty obligations) or to convert a work into any format that is usable for a person with a disability. Further, it must also not make it illegal for a library to maintain long-term accessibility to materials by migrating them to new formats or to deliver to the end-user a digital copy of a print document. In addition, there should be a good faith defence from statutory damages for copyright infringement, a ―notice and notice‖ rather than a ―notice and takedown‖ system should be implemented for internet service providers, and a reformed Act should prohibit ‘standard form’ contracts from usurping rights granted under the Act, while a statement clarifying the permissibility of using Internet sources for educational use, without circumscribing a user‘s fair dealing rights, should be added

Copyright for University Instructors and Staff

1. An Introduction to the CARL Copyright Training Modules2. How Does Copyright Law Apply at My University?3. When Do I Need to Think About Copyright?4. The Balancing Act: What Rights Do Copyright Owners Have?5. The Balancing Act: User Rights6. What Do I Need to Know About Licensing?7. Openly Licensed MaterialsCopyright considerations are relevant to many university activities in Canada, both for creators and users of copyright-protected material. This series provides university employees with a general overview of copyright through seven short, self-directed, bilingual instructional modules. Each module contains a short video, usually between 4 and 6 minutes in length, and a quiz. The webpage text that follows the video is a transcript of the narration from the corresponding video for the module. The quizzes at the end of each module are learning tools; results are not monitored or retained.These modules are meant to supplement rather than replace the resources provided by your employer. For information about specific scenarios, consult your own institution’s copyright guidelines and policies, and, if necessary, seek legal advice. Separately, the Opening Up Copyright instructional modules, based at the University of Alberta, provide more in-depth copyright information on a range of topics, for a broader audience

@Risk North 3 Report

The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Digital Preservation Working Group (DPWG) and partners organized the *@Risk North 3 (@RN3)* summit in Gatineau, Québec from November 21-22, 2024. @RN3 addressed current challenges in the digital preservation arena through presentations by key stakeholders, guided discussions and lightning talks. Partners included LAC, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), Internet Archive Canada (IAC), the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (Alliance), and the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC). Areas under discussion included broad themes such as education and training, people strategy, funding and resource allocation, and more focused ones like web archiving, research data, benchmarking, and tools and technologies. Across the summit, participants emphasized the need for continued and deepened collaboration between institutions, organizations and practitioners for the purposes of advocacy, knowledge-sharing and skills development. Identifying sustainable solutions, shared infrastructure among them, addressing growing storage requirements and budgetary constraints was a priority. The community could benefit from establishing and sharing best practices, methodologies and workflows around key activities such as benchmarking, and greater mechanisms to facilitate access to resources. Varied and more extensive training, both formal and informal and at all career stages, would benefit individual practitioners and organizations. Moving forward, a follow-up webinar to share findings, the creation of a community of practice, and planning for future iterations of the @Risk North summit would continue the momentum and encourage the relationship-building the summit fostered. Further, the DPWG will work towards developing a multi-year action plan, implementing a national benchmarking exercise, and creating a CARL Visiting Program Officer position in Digital Preservation to aid in coordination and planning. *The @Risk North 3 Summit Report is available in both English and French.* Le Groupe de travail sur la préservation numérique (GTPN) de l'Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) et ses partenaires ont organisé *le sommet @Risk North 3 (@RN3)* à Gatineau, au Québec, les 21 et 22 novembre 2024. @RN3 a abordé les défis actuels de la préservation numérique au moyen de présentations d'intervenants clés, de discussions guidées et de conférences éclair. Parmi les partenaires figuraient BAC, le Réseau canadien de documentation pour la recherche (RCDR), Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), Internet Archive Canada (IAC), l'Alliance de recherche numérique du Canada (Alliance) et a Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC). Les domaines discutés comprenaient des thèmes généraux, tels que l’éducation et la formation, la stratégie en matière de personnel, le financement et l’allocation des ressources, ainsi que des thèmes plus ciblés, comme l’archivage web, les données de recherche, l’analyse comparative, les outils et les technologies. Au cours du Sommet, les personnes qui ont participé ont souligné la nécessité d’une collaboration continue et approfondie entre les établissements, les organisations et les gens sur le terrain aux fins de sensibilisation, de partage des connaissances et de développement des compétences. L’identification de solutions durables, la mise en commun de l’infrastructure, la réponse aux besoins croissants en matière de stockage et aux contraintes budgétaires étaient des priorités. La communauté pourrait tirer profit de l’établissement et du partage des meilleures pratiques, méthodologies et flux de travail autour d’activités clés, telles que l’analyse comparative, et de mécanismes plus efficaces pour faciliter l’accès aux ressources. Une formation variée et plus complète, à la fois formelle et informelle et à tous les stades de carrière, profiterait aux personnes individuellement ainsi qu’aux organisations. Pour la suite des choses, un webinaire de suivi pour partager les conclusions, la création d’une communauté de pratique et la planification des prochaines iterations du sommet @Risk North permettraient de poursuivre sur la lancée et d’encourager le maintien des relations que le sommet a favorisées. De plus, le GTPN travaillera à l’élaboration d’un plan d’action pluriannuel, à la mise en œuvre d’un exercice national d’analyse comparative et à la création d’un poste d’agente ou d’agent de programme invité à l’ABRC en préservation numérique pour aider à la coordination et à la planification
