Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and eIFL.net Launch
"Copyright for Librarians", an Online Open Curriculum on Copyright Law

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University today
announced the launch of a new online, open access curriculum,
“Copyright for Librarians”
(http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/copyrightforlibrarians/), developed in
conjunction with eIFL.net. “Copyright for Librarians” aims to
inform librarians about copyright law in general, as well as the aspects of
copyright law that most affect libraries, especially those in developing
and transition countries.

“Copyright law directly affects library services providing access to
learning resources, scientific and research information,” said Rima
Kupryte, Director eIFL.net. “Everyday librarians are managing
information and responding to requests from students, academics, and
members of the public. They are well placed to provide practical advice on
topical copyright-related issues. This curriculum, which includes modules
on the scope of copyright law, exceptions and limitations and managing
rights, provides librarians from around the world with an opportunity to
understand this important area of law.”

“Librarians and their professional organisations play key roles in
shaping national and international copyright policy and in protecting and
promoting access to knowledge,” said William Fisher, faculty director
of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, “eIFL.net has created a
crucial network of librarians in developing and transition countries. It is
essential that the members of that network have the fullest possible
understanding, not just of the current copyright laws, but also of the ways
in which those laws could and should be interpreted and modified in the
future. We hope that this curriculum will help to advance that
understanding.”

“Maximising access to educational and learning materials is critical
for development in Africa”, said Benson Njobvu, University of Zambia.
“Teaching students about legal information issues enhances the role
of the librarian, preparing the next generation for a professional career
in the digital age. We aim to produce librarians who will become
well-informed advocates for access to knowledge. “Copyright for
Librarians” is a valuable new resource that will help us to achieve
our goal”.

The course materials of “Copyright for Librarians” – nine
modules organised into five different levels – can be used as the
basis for a self-taught course, a traditional classroom-based course, or as
a distance-learning course. For more information and access to the course
materials, visit: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/copyrightforlibrarians/

eIFL.net is grateful to the Ford Foundation for their support of the
development of “Copyright for Librarians.”
