Item Open Access Our Copyright World: Continuing the Conversation(2024-05-03) Winter, Christina; Langrell, KateItem Open Access 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, ChristinaThis 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.Item Open Access Copyright the Card Game – Canadian Edition(2018) Brunet, Mélanie; Dickison, Joshua; Di Valentino, Lisa; Graham, Rumi; Kohn, Alex; Langrell, Kate; Mollel, Obianuju; Spong, Stephen; Winter, ChristinaCopyright the Card Game - Canadian Edition. © Canadian Copyright Card Game Group 2018 and are available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-Share Alike 4.0 licence.

A New and Expanded Update on Copyright Practices and Approaches at Canadian Post-Secondaries(University of Alberta Library, 2021-12-15) Winter, Christina; Graham, Rumi Y.Objective–The aim of this study is to update our understanding of how Canadian post-secondary institutions address copyright education, management, and policy matters since our last survey conducted in 2015. Through the new survey, we seek to shed further light on what is known about post-secondary educational copying and contribute to filling some knowledge gaps such as those identified in the 2017 statutory review of the Canadian Copyright Act.Methods–In early 2020, a survey invitation was sent to the person or office responsible for oversight of copyright matters at member institutions of five Canadian regional academic library consortia. The study methods used were largely the same as those employed in our 2015 survey on copyright practices of Canadian universities. Results–In 2020, respondents were fewer in number but represented a wider variety of types of post-secondary institutions. In general, responsibility for copyright services and management decisions seemed to be concentrated in the library or copyright office. Topics covered and methods used in copyright education remained relatively unchanged, as did issues addressed in copyright policies. Areas reflecting some changes included blanket collective licensing, the extent of executive responsibility for copyright, and approaches to copyright education. At most participating institutions, fewer than two staff were involved in copyright services and library licenses were the permissions source most frequently relied on “very often.” Few responded to questions on the use of specialized permissions management tools and compliance monitoring.Conclusion–Copyright practices and policies at post-secondary institutionswill continue to evolve and respond to changes in case law, legislation, pedagogical approaches, and students’ learning needs. The recent Supreme Court of Canada ruling on approved copying tariffs and fair dealing provides some clarity to educational institutions regarding options for managing copyright obligations and reaffirms the importance of user’s rights in maintaining a proper balance between public and private interests in Canadian copyright law.Item Open Access CFLA Copyright Committee Update(2021-05-07) Winter, Christina; Kohn, Alexandra; Ludbrook, Ann; Owen, VictoriaItem Open Access Implementing the CARL Copyright Open Educational Resource for University Instructors and Staff on campus(2021-02-25) Orfano, Stephanie; Swartz, Mark; Winter, Christina; Johnson, Rowena; Canadian Association of Research LibrariesItem Open Access Copyright Practices & Approaches at Canadian Post-Secondaries: A Follow-up Survey(2021-05-05) Winter, Christina; Graham, RumiThis session will share results of a Spring 2020 survey that follows up on our 2015 survey of copyright practices at Canadian universities. The new survey expanded the scope of participants to include a somewhat broader range of post-secondary institutions. The aim is to provide an update on how Canadian post-secondary institutions address copyright education, management, and policy matters. We hope to shed light on some gaps in what is known about educational copying in the Canadian post-secondary education sector. These may include gaps identified in the 2019 INDU report on the statutory review of the Copyright Act.Item Open Access CFLA – Advocacy on Copyright Issues(2021-02-05) Owen, Victoria; Swartz, Mark; Wakaruk, Amanda; Winter, ChristinaThis 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.Item Open Access Copyright in Libraries 2020(2020-04-30) Winter, Christina; Langrell, KateItem Open Access Copyright Support for Scholarly Communications(2020) Dandar, Devina; Kazakoff-Lane, Carmen; Langrell, Kate; Winter, ChristinaItem Open Access What happened after the 2012 shift in Canadian copyright law?

They are primary data that provide both provenance and an explanation for how we know facts. They allow us to attribute and credit scientific contributions, and they enable the evaluation of research and its impacts. In sum, citations are the most important vehicle for the discovery, dissemination, and evaluation of all scholarly knowledge.Item Open Access COPYRIGHT the card game (Canadian version): copyright literacy through game-based learning(2019-01-30) Winter, Christina; Brunet, Melanie; Graham, Rumi; Spong, StephenPresented at OLA Super Conference, Toronto, ON, January 30, 2019.
