Programme
9:15 am Registration and refreshments
10:00 am Welcome - Naomi Korn
10:10 am Keynote: Taking rights away? - reconsidering obstacles to copyright reform
In policy debates in copyright, it is often argued that changes to the copyright legislation which may be favourable to librarians, information professionals and the users of their services, would deprive right-holders of established property rights. Such arguments were used to prevent the resolution of the '2039 problem’ in unpublished works. They are also often used by policy makers against the introduction of new, or extended, exceptions or limitations to copyright. In this keynote paper, Jonathan Griffiths argues that, when scrutinised carefully, these claims are often less convincing than they initially appear.
Jonathan Griffiths: Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Queen Mary University of London
10:45 am Lightning talk - Unlocking our sound heritage: rights and risks
The Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project aims to digitise around 500,000 sound recordings from audio archives around the country, providing online access to around 100,000 of them.
Stephanie will examine how the project has tackled rights clearance, what risks have been managed and what is still being working out.
Stephanie Ashcroft: Network Intellectual Property Manager, Unlocking Our Sound Heritage, British Library
10:50 am Refreshments
11:15 am The EU Copyright Directive: Ground-Breaking, Clarifying or Pointless?
The EU Copyright Directive: What does this mean for libraries and the cultural heritage sector? Positioning the new directive in the context of existing EU legislation and case law Dr Andrea Wallace and Anthony Misquitta will discuss how the new directive will affect libraries and cultural heritage organisations. Then they will consider whether the business model in which libraries and cultural heritage organisations use copyright to generate a commercial income is sustainable. Using data and case studies from both the UK and overseas Andrea and Anthony will look at these issues from a legal, commercial and ethical perspective.
Dr Andrea Wallace: Lecturer in IP, Exeter University & Anthony Misquitta: General Counsel V&A
11.55 am Copyright Risk Acceptance Framework
Lengthy, complex terms of copyright protection necessitate that libraries look to practical methods to enable mass digitisation of collections. Such methods may include licensing or orphan works clearance. In practice, however, proportionate acceptance of risk is inescapable, especially when collections contain works that are not, or never have been, commercially available, or when institutions seek to digitise at scale. The National Libraries of Wales and Scotland have jointly developed and adopted a copyright risk acceptance framework, which will be presented. The framework is a pragmatic risk assessment and decision-making tool to aid the digitisation of collection material (Original Objects) and the making available of digitisations (Digital Surrogates). Using limited assessment criteria, including age and publication status, the framework allows libraries logically and consistently to identify, record, and rationalise the relative risk of making Digital Surrogates available to the public and to make standardised copyright assessment decisions.
Fred Saunderson: Rights and Information Manager, National Library of Scotland
12.25 pm Lunch
1.40 pm Lightning Talk - Exploit your assets!
An overview of the outcomes of a recent Naomi Korn Associates project assessing intellectual property management in the arts and culture sector and the lessons that can be learned for librarians and information professionals.
Patrick Ibbotson: Operations and Projects Manager, Naomi Korn Associates
1:45 pm CLA Licensing Update for Librarians and Information Professionals
James will update delegates on the latest enhancements to the licences and workflow tools offered by the Copyright Licensing Agency, including the new CLA Licence Plus interface for NHS content users.
James Bennett: Head of Rights and Licensing, Copyright Licensing Agency
2:20 pm Lightning Talk - Copyright life hacks for librarians
Anyone working in an academic library needs to know about copyright. It underpins almost every part of our service from advising students on avoiding plagiarism to supporting researchers publishing their own work. However, just because staff know they need to know doesn’t mean they are always keen to attend training.
This talk will highlight some of the methods used at Cambridge University Libraries to encourage staff to improve their copyright literacy including new formats such as podcasts, using games based learning and creating short, accessible guides. It will also offer some practical suggestions based on experience which delegates can implement at their own institution to encourage the take up of copyright training.
Claire Sewell: Research Support Librarian for Physical Sciences, Cambridge University
2:25 pm Refreshments
2:55 pm Plan S from a Publishers Perceptive: The benefits for Librarians and Academics.
Plan S is due to be implemented by early 2021 after which time COAlition S funding partners will only pay for work to be published via an Open Access business model. This push to Open Access has created a huge change within the industry, as well as opportunities, for academics, publishers and librarians. Sarah Greaves, PhD; Chief Publishing Officer at Hindawi Ltd will discuss Plan S from an Open Access publishers perspective including the role of the librarian in an every changing market and the benefits, opportunities (and risks), for academics publishing under an Open Access model.
Dr Sarah Greaves: Chief Publishing Officer, Hindawi
3:30 pm Copyright in the courts
Judgments are what bring copyright to life. They involve real people and real problems, and often address issues that are left unclear by legislation. They can even be funny. The session will consider a selection of recent, and not so recent, judgments on copyright from UK courts, the Court of Justice of the EU and elsewhere as they affect librarians, archivists and other information professionals. A list of the cases mentioned, with information on where to find the judgments, will be provided.
Tim Padfield: Copyright for Archivists and Records Managers
3:50 pm Panel discussion
