EIFL webinars on copyright in science, research and library

EIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries) offers four webinars on copyright in the context of science, research and the library.

Join this webinar on the topic of Libraries, Copyright and AI (artificial intelligence) with a focus on science and research. The webinar will set out core principles necessary for the making of AI policy and regulations that are supportive of science and research. It will also highlight AI provisions in copyright laws, and the status of litigation concerning the use of machine learning technologies in different jurisdictions around the world.

Join this webinar on the topic of Libraries, Copyright and the Commons. The webinar will focus on Creative Commons (CC) licences, widely used for legally sharing and using copyright-protected works in the areas of open education, science and research. It will also discuss the emerging issue of generative AI and CC licences, and it will present tools, resources and practices commonly used by librarians and researchers when applying CC licences to materials.  

Join this webinar on the topic of Libraries, Copyright, Research and Development. Our expert speaker, Faith Majekolagbe, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Alberta, Canada, will focus on the role of copyright limitations and exceptions (L&Es) as an intrinsic part of a healthy copyright system and vital tools that enable creativity, innovation, access to knowledge and educational materials. It is the third in a series of four EIFL webinars on copyright and libraries.

Join this webinar on three legal concepts commonly found in copyright laws around the world - fair use, fair dealing and fair practice. The webinar will briefly describe the origins and key characteristics of each concept, which countries have these flexible provisions in their copyright laws, and how libraries can benefit.

To round off this series of four EIFL webinars on copyright and libraries, the presentation by Jonathan Band PLLC will be followed by an extended Q&A - 'Ask us anything (about copyright and libraries)’.
