Statute law provides university libraries with a framework for copyright requirements, duties and privileges. In Australia, there are few guidelines or standards for university libraries about providing those copyright services that are not mandated by statute, such as copyright advice and compliance. There is little formally-shared knowledge about the non-statutory services provided by university library Copyright Officers. More information about this would benefit libraries reviewing or establishing these positions. This research uses survey and semi-structured face-to-face interviews with designated Copyright Officers in four Western Australian universities to document four aspects of their work. These four factors are interaction and support within the library and the institution; involvement in institutional copyright advice, involvement in institutional copyright compliance; and satisfaction with authority and resourcing. The survey and interviews revealed two different models for structuring the library Copyright Officer position; one model involving a part-time officer with responsibility only for copyright, and the other model involving a full-time officer who has only 5% of their duties involved in copyright with the remainder of the copyright duties being managed by a member of the university legal / governance office. Similarities were found between the activities of both models, such as the strategies involved in ensuring copyright compliance, and education and training sessions. There was agreement from all respondents that copyright compliance within their institution could be improved by an increase in the resources available to each position.

In 2011 the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) began work on the development of an interactive national Trusted Digital Repository for contemporary and historical social and cultural data. Copyright and intellectual property rights were identified as essential areas which the DRI, as a content holder and data publisher, needed to investigate in order to develop workflows, policy and the Repository infrastructure. We established a Copyright and IP Task Force (CIPT) in January 2013 to capture and identify IP challenges from our stakeholder community and the DRI’s demonstrator collections. This report outlines the legislative context in which the CIPT worked, and how the CIPT addressed copyright challenges through the development of policies and a robust framework of legal documentation for the Repository. We also provide a case study on Orphan Works, detailing the process undertaken by the Clarke Stained Glass Studios Collection, one of DRI’s demonstrator projects, in preparing their content for online publication in the Repository.

Transitional provisions in the implementation of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (1988) made changes to the copyright protection to works which were unpublished at the time of the implementation of the Act. Those unpublished works will remain in copyright until 31 December 2039, rather than in perpetuity, as was previously the case. Following a consultation in late December 2014, the government has stated that they will not be making any changes to the legislation until further discussions take place. This article discusses the ways in which cultural and heritage institutions may make use of works subject to the 2039 rule, including both UK and European Orphan Works provisions, and considers the possible solutions for making the use of older 2039 works simpler.

The changes to the Copyright and Rights in Performances (Disability) Regulations 2014 have been the most significant changes to copyright disability exceptions for twelve years. The legislative changes bring long-awaited updates to this area of copyright law, but practical encumbrances such as reporting, TPM restrictions, and cross-border exchange of files threaten to undermine the positives. This article examines the changes and their practical applications, comparing what the law allowed previously to what it now permits, and how this intersects with licensing schemes such as the CLA Licence. It looks at the responsibilities of rightsholders and of ‘authorised bodies’ who can adapt works for users with disabilities. Finally, this article will summarise current international legislative issues such as the ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty.

Provision of accessible copies of textbooks to visually impaired students has an important role to play in supporting them in their studies, including at university. Recent legislative and copyright licence developments have allowed libraries to supply textbooks to their students in a form best suited to their needs. Whilst these developments are welcome, actually obtaining accessible textbook for visually impaired university students is neither simple nor straightforward and is often a laborious and time consuming process. The University of Chester has provided accessible books to visually impaired students since 2011 and established an Alternative Formats Team in 2012 to manage this service. This article describes the processes, usage and challenges of this service, as well as providing a brief description of the RNIB resource Load2Learn.
