Due to popular demand, we are adding a second webinar on 21 May. This will repeat the material shown in the first session on 11 May for a second group of attendees. There is no need to book in to both sessions - just the one that suits you best. Details of the content of both sessions are below.

With the doors of most libraries and archives across Australia closed to the public for the foreseeable future, many are considering what they can do to keep supplying clients, and whether copyright might cause problems.

The good news is that the unique distance challenges of our country mean that the right to remote supply has always been part of our national copyright policies, and Australia’s Copyright Act 1968 gives libraries, archives, museums and galleries clear rights to provide remote access to materials in many circumstances.

In this free public webinar, the staff members of the Australian Libraries Copyright Committee will answer some of the most common questions about copyright law for Australian cultural institutions seeking to provide access to material in their collections remotely. There will also be time reserved for direct questions at the end of the event.
