Presentation

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 re-use, 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 to the access to knowledge movement);
  • To help librarians to answer copyright questions they face during their work;
  • To help librarians to answer users questions on their rights (professors, students, general public);
  • To empower librarians to advise governments and other public policy makers and initiatives towards balanced copyright law.
