This document summarizes an international symposium on copyright literacy and the role of librarians as educators and advocates. It discusses the importance of copyright education given technological changes and international reforms. Copyright literacy is defined as acquiring appropriate knowledge, skills, and behaviors to enable ethical creation and use of copyrighted works. A multi-national survey found that copyright literacy levels are unsatisfactory and training should be included in library and information science curricula. Panelists from several countries discuss practical tools and strategies their institutions have used to promote copyright literacy, including educational programs, online resources, and community engagement.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Why it is part of information literacy Why it is not simply a compliance issue Why it’s not just a ‘skill’ and following a set of rules Acquiring – it doesn’t come naturally Demonstrating – it’s about practice and communicating what you are doing Appropriate – you don’t need to be an expert, it’s contextual, there is not one simple answer, formulaic answers don’t always work, it’s an overall sense of what is right and wrong Knowledge (there is a background of stuff you need to learn, sources of authority but you have to question them), Skills – way beyond the ability of legal analysis, listening and empathy, assertiveness, negotiation Behaviours – getting comfortable with ambiguity, communication, (linked to values) transparency and openness All together = literacy Enable – it’s enabling, empowering, not restrictive, what’s it for is to reach copyright’s ultimate aims – to try and make things work in an imperfect world whilst never losing site of humanity’s potential – enlightenment Ethical – doesn’t prescribe one ethical view, relies on general enlightenment a fertile ground for constructive debate – there is common ground, giving people respect and attribution Creation and use – recognise that we are all producers and consumers of content – doesn’t favour one particular body as copyright has been imposed on the whole of humanity Material – the most embracing catch all term we can think of to cover the whole of humanities expression of creative outputs (content is not the word) The common ground is that those involved in the critical copyright literacy movement want people to have access to information and be discerning and be critical.
- This is why it matters more widely.
- History and philosophy. Puts the whole thing in context before you even start getting into the nitty gritty of how it works. Really important because people sometimes forget why it exists and there is a need to question this. This covers subject matter, subsistence of protection, exclusive rights, exceptions and the concept of the public domain. It covers the stuff that many people get fixated on – the technical workings of the copyright system. However as we all know this is only part of the story. This covers the whole range of activities around making thing available with permission, and using them with permission. It covers collective licensing, website terms and conditions, resource licensing, negotiated licences and open licences. This is very much focused on what you want to get out there and how you do it. Thinking about it from an HE perspective it is about the reality of scholarly communication. From a CHI perspective it covers digitization and making available of collections. From an individual’s perspective it means ethical and meaningful contribution to online communities in a way that respects and encourages creativity. The sting in the tail of copyright as well as the assertive and pragmatic approaches that should be taken. This might be where some people start, but it can only really be properly addressed once you’ve thought about the other things.
- 14 counries were involved, namely Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, France, Hungary, Lithuania, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Turkey, UK and USA. Carried out between (2012-2016) Main aim was to explore the levels of CL knowledge and skills of librarians and other professionals from cultural heritage institutions
- What have been the key challenges / blockers / issues in your country? Who is leading the strategy if you have one?
- Each panel member will have a single slide to which they can talk for 2 minutes (timing TBC). What do the findings from the survey mean for the future of LIS education? What is the role of librarians in open education and embedding copyright literacy into teaching, learning and research practices? How do we balance the ‘critical’ with the ‘compliance’ aspects of copyright work? Is there a problem with “librarians posing as lawyers”? What would a world without copyright literacy look like?
