Making Archival Material Available on the Internet
Copyright in the Real World: Making Archival Material Available on the Internet by Jean Elizabeth Dryden A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Jean Elizabeth Dryden, 2008 Copyright in the Real World: Making Archival Material Available on the Internet Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Jean Elizabeth Dryden Faculty of Information Studies University of Toronto ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the practices of Canadian repositories in making their archival holdings available on the Internet to see whether they are more or less restrictive than copyright law requires. The Internet provides an opportunity to make archival material more widely accessible; however, repositories’ copyright practices in making their holdings available online may affect the extent to which wider access to archival material is actually achieved. The study employed four different sources of evidence, i.e., the website content of 154 Canadian repositories whose websites feature archival material from the repository’s holdings; copyright policy and procedure documents of those repositories; 106 responses to a questionnaire sent to the staff of those repositories; and 22 interviews with repository staff members. In terms of selection for online access, the study found that the repositories studied prefer to select items that are perceived to incur little risk of copyright infringement (because the copyright has expired or because the repository owns the copyright), or items that require few or no resources to investigate copyright status or obtain copyright authorizations. Thus, with regard to selection, repositories were more restrictive than the law required, largely due to lack of resources. -

Copyright Quiz for Graduate Students
Copyright Quiz For Graduate Students Updated September 2019 Welcome to the Copyright Quiz! The Copyright Quiz is designed to test your copyright knowledge and to help you gain a better understanding of Canadian copyright law. The information will be particularly beneficial if you are a UM graduate student working on your thesis. This Copyright Quiz is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be legal advice. Question 1 True or false? If a work (for example, a photo, diagram, chart, or whole journal article) does not have the © copyright symbol, it’s not protected by copyright and I can add it to my thesis. Answer 1 False In Canada, a work does not require the © copyright symbol to be protected. As soon as a work is in a fixed format (written or printed on paper, saved on a computer, posted to the web, painted on canvas, etc.), it’s copyright protected. However, because the © copyright symbol is required in some countries, it’s advisable to use it for your own works. Question 2 True or false? I can avoid obtaining copyright permission by modifying or adapting an existing work and using the modified version in my thesis. Answer 2 False. Only the copyright owner has the right to change a work. Adapting or modifying usually requires copyright clearance. Keep in mind that copyright protects the expression of an idea, not the idea itself. Therefore, creating your own original work based on an idea is acceptable – that’s why more than one work on any given topic exists – but changing a work likely requires permission. -

Canadiana, the National Bibliography for Canada, in the Digital Age
Date : 04/06/2008 Canadiana, the National Bibliography for Canada, in the Digital Age Liz McKeen, Director, Resource Description Division, Published Heritage Branch, Library and Archives Canada Meeting: 162. Bibliography Simultaneous Interpretation: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Russian and Spanish WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 74TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 10-14 August 2008, Québec, Canada http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm Introduction Good morning. I am very happy to be here this morning, representing Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and discussing Canada’s national bibliography Canadiana in the Digital Age. What I would like to do this morning is to explore with you the changes that are taking place in the concept and the practice of national bibliography in this Digital age. I will focus my remarks on the experiences in Canada, where we are moving towards a redefinition of the scope and nature of the national bibliography, and we are increasingly recognizing the need, and seeking opportunities for, collaboration with others in creating the national bibliography. Digital Publications at Library and Archives Canada (LAC): The Story So Far Legal Deposit of e-Publications In Canada, the legal deposit law was extended to cover electronic publications as of January 2007. This has been significant for us, but not completely new; the National Library of Canada, one of the predecessors of Library and Archives Canada, had been collecting electronic publications since 1994, and we had amassed a small but interesting collection now numbering some 30,000 titles, or 405 gigabytes of data. These titles are almost all “out-of-copyright” or crown copyright materials which we were able to make available to the world on our Website. -
