With the majority of teaching and research materials now accessible only via licensed, electronic platforms, users rights are often curtailed by language contained in licensing agreements. Are statutory user rights becoming increasingly overridden by contracts? Do contracts limit these rights for end users and libraries? Can fair dealing “always be available” even if a negotiated contract says otherwise? Join us for this community call to hear from a panel of legal scholars and library practitioners discussing whether users’ rights under the Copyright Act can be overridden by contracts and how to avoid unnecessary restrictions in our day to day activities. There will be time for questions and to share your thoughts about how legislative change in this area is needed.
