“Advocacy for Access to Knowledge: copyright and libraries” (known as eIFL-IP) Goal To protect and promote the interests of libraries in copyright issues Vision librarians become a strong voice for fair and balanced copyright laws and leaders in promoting access to knowledge

What is copyright? Legal protection for creators of “works of the mind”; exclusive right to control production and use of the work by others; covers reproduction, distribution, public performance, broadcast, translation.

Why is copyright important for libraries? Governs ownership, control and distribution of knowledge; libraries provide people with access to knowledge and information; professional issue for libraries and library organisations.

“Intellectual property laws are the legal sinews (muscles) of the information age; they affect everything from the availability and price of AIDS drugs, to the patterns of international development, to the communications architecture of the Internet.” James Boyle, Professor of Law at Duke Law School and the cofounder of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain.

Limitations on copyright Powerful, exclusive monopoly right is limited in two main ways: Term of protection i.e. life of the author + 50 years (or longer); exceptions and limitations to enable access to copyrighted works.
