Come and work through the copyright concerns and questions facing health libraries today. This workshop will respond to your concerns about the copyright ownership of materials found in your collection, in your institution, and online. We will discuss the rights of the individuals and organizations that hold copyright over materials in which you are interested. We will discuss the rights that have been clearly recognized for librarians and library users by the Supreme Court of Canada in the recent case involving the Great Library of the Law Society of Upper Canada and the legal publishers in Canada. We will discuss potential relationships with collectives such as AccessCopyright and we will look at the relationship between copyright and other areas of concern such as personal data protection (or privacy) legislation.
