Copyright for Librarians is a project of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and eIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries, a consortium of libraries from 50 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe) developing a distance learning curriculum on copyright targeted to librarians.
The course material is licenced under a Creative Commons Attribution licence and available in online and offline formats, encouraging communities to reuse, translate and build upon this Open Educational Resource.
The goals of the course are:
- To develop greater understanding of copyright by providing training tailored to the needs of librarians in developing and transition countries;
- To support librarians' mission (participation in the access to knowledge movement);
- To help librarians answer copyright questions they face during their work;
- To help librarians answer users' (professors, students, general public) questions on their rights;
- To empower librarians to advise governments and other public policy makers and initiatives towards balanced copyright law.
After studying the course textbook modules, learners are invited to discuss legal questions and lead comparative legal research, for instance to describe how the international copyright framework applies in their national jurisdiction. An assignment platform is hosting discussion between participants on copyright issues from the perspective of libraries.
