Hi Everyone, Moyra has clarified some of the information I posted yesterday.
Cheers
Helen
Dear ALLG members
I would like to clarify an item in Helen's report of the talk I gave last Thursday.
The existing Fair dealing exceptions are unchanged - in fact a new category has been added
Fair dealing now applies to
1. Research and study
2. Criticism or review
3. Reporting the news
4. Giving of professional advice
AND
5. Parody and satire
Two or more articles from the same journal issue may be reproduced if they are for the same course of study or the same research (Cf the original requirement that they be on the same subject)
A library may request another library
(a) to provide copies for a client for any of the above purposes
(b) for inclusion in the library's collection
If the request it for (b) it is not clear that more than one article may be copied (since it is not for the same course of research or study)
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any further queries.

Copyright Update
Hi Everyone
Richard and I attended a Copyright Seminar last Thursday at lunch time which was put on by ALIA Quorum. Moyra McAllister is the copyright adviser for ALIA. It was very good. Moyra went through some very basic points about what copyright is etc, but also covered some of the sections of the recent amendments to the Copyright Act. This is just an excerpt of what she covered and suggested.
The fair dealing provisions still exist but they are only for research or study - and that means course/study. The fair dealing provisions no longer apply to libraries copying for other libraries.
Moyra pointed out the definition does not say that the Library has to be open to the public - just that you have to be willing to supply ILL.
There are special case exceptions for libraries s200AB - but they are not really certain what "certain purposes" they are yet!
She suggests at a minimum we need to be listed on the Australian Libraries Gateway, need to list the subject areas we specialise and our willingness to provide ILL. CAL has also been recommending to people that our library catalogues need to online. She said that this is not correct and we don't have to do that. We do however, have to be part of the Interlibrary loan network - and we would have to do better than the ALLG Union Serials list. Something like GratisNet would be worthwhile.
There is also a Corporate Libraries Licence from CAL which she also thinks would be a good idea to get.

Our changing clients
Following on from the Talkfest on Wednesday, I came across a bibliography (courtesy of the ALIA Newgrads elist) on next generation librarianship that looked very interesting.
Lots of stuff about younger client groups, and as a contrast the "memo to baby boomer" article about teaching the boomers to let go seemed worth a read.
