    CFLA – Advocacy on Copyright Issues
    (2021-02-05) Owen, Victoria; Swartz, Mark; Wakaruk, Amanda; Winter, Christina
    This presentation will discuss the upcoming changes to Canadian copyright law as a result of the implementation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). We will discuss how the change in the term of copyright protection will impact the Canadian library and archival communities, and explore possibilities for mitigating the harms to the public domain. Participants will also learn about the copyright advocacy efforts of the CFLA copyright committee, and will be encouraged to share their own copyright challenges that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Controlled Digital Lending of Library Books in Canada
    (The Partnership Provincial and Territorial Library Associations of Canada, 2022-12-21) De Castell, Christina; Dickison, Joshua; Mau, Trish; Swartz, Mark; Tiessen, Robert; Wakaruk, Amanda; Winter, Christina
    This paper explores legal considerations for how libraries in Canada can lend digital copies of books. It is an adaptation of A Whitepaper on Controlled Digital Lending of Library Books by David R. Hansen and Kyle K. Courtney, and draws heavily on this source in its content, with the permission of the authors. Our paper considers the legal and policy rationales for the process—“controlled digital lending”—in Canada, as well as a variety of risk factors and practical considerations that can guide libraries seeking to implement such lending, with the intention of helping Canadian libraries to explore controlled digital lending in our own Canadian legal and policy context. Our goal is to help libraries and their lawyers become better informed about controlled digital lending as an approach, offer the basis of the legal rationale for its use in Canada, and suggest situations in which this rationale might be strongest.
