One Day Training Programme on "Digital Content Copyright: Challenges to Libraries"

Date: September 17, 2011

Venue: Cochin University of Science and Technology

Objectives of the One Day Training Programme

Historically, libraries assume a major role in the process of informationdissemination. They always tried to balance the promotion of access toinformation and the interests of the publishers and authors. This is upset with the advent of new technologies. The challenges to be addressed by the libraries in the near future centers around digitization of copyright contents, which permits multiple use and reduces copyright owners’ control over works. Technological Protection Measures (TPM) and restriction on permitted uses are some of the modes used to overcome this. However, these measures jeopardize the freedom of libraries to facilitate access to information, which is the main objective of copyright protection. This awareness programme attempts to shed light on the challenges posed by the Indian Copyright Act on the functions of libraries.

Technical Sessions

• General Introduction to Copyright Law
• The Role of Libraries in Information Dissemination under the Indian Copyright Act
• Technological Protection Measures and its impact on Libraries Target Audience
