The broad objective of this research is to discover what the current and emerging needs of U of S researchers are in order to determine if scholarly communications services are in demand here. And, if so, to provide an evidence-based foundation for the potential future development of such a program of services at the University Library.Item Does the VIVO Harvester populate bibliographic references for an institutional instance of VIVO effectively?(2013) Eldredge, Jonathan; Kroth, Philip; Hannigan, Gale; Murray-Krezan, Cristina; Carr, Richard; Weagel, Edward; Hantak, ChadItem The value of library and information services in patient care: Results of a multivariate analysis(2013) Marshall, Joanne GardItem Narrative inquiry: Generating useful data for research questions(2013) De Long, KathleenItem The Canadian research-embedded health librarian experience: Results of a mixed methods study(2013) Dennett, Liz; Surette, Soleil; Chatterley, Trish; Greyson, DevonItem Impact of research on practice for Canadian academic libraries(2013) Murphy, SharonItem Digital literacy skills as determinants of job satisfaction and career progression of academic library staff(2013) Itsekor, Victoria; Oyewole, Oluwatofunmi JesudunniItem Methods for studying customers’ use of the physical space at Edmonton Public Library(2013) Wortman, BethItem Don't lose it - use it!

Support for the efficacy of the one-shot library instruction session(2013) Hayes-Bohanan, Pamela; Spievak, Elizabeth R.Item Social Media and Copyright(2019-05-30) Bosher, HayleighSince copyright protects books, films, music, art and images, we evidently need to use copyright protected works in our teaching for illustration, reference and resource. On top of this, social media is being increasingly used in the classroom, and as a medium for teaching and learning. However, many teachers and lectures are unaware of the copyright implications of social media use. There are certain exception to copyright which allow for free use of the material without permission, however these are qualified and narrow. If a teacher is using social media, this would fall outside the remit of the educational exception. Other exceptions could be explored such as critique or quotation which may apply in certain circumstances. One of the key issues with using social media is that once content is uploaded to a platform, the platform is granted the right to share it, under the user agreement. This means that often users are licensing their work without knowing it, or worse, sub-licensing someone else's work without permission! Social media user agreements are controversial, and leave users vulnerable to copyright infringement claims. Social media can be a valuable teaching device to enhance student experience and engagement, as long as risks are appropriately mitigated. This presentation will take a look at using copyright protected materials and social media in higher education. In particular, it will consider risk management, relevant exceptions and the controversial nature of the terms of use.Item OA policies & traditional publishing agreements: Status of non-exclusive licenses in Canadian copyright law?(2019-05-30) Graham, Rumi; Bell, Allan; Lapierre, Dominique; Swartz, MarkTo ease the problem of paywall-blocked access to scholarly articles arising from publicly funded research, some universities have adopted a rights-retention OA policy. In this type of policy, faculty grant to the university a blanket non-exclusive license to make the accepted manuscript version of their scholarly articles publicly available in the university's research repository. But what happens if a university adopts an OA policy and faculty subsequently continue to sign publishers' standard publishing agreements that typically require an author to either transfer all copyrights or provide an exclusive license to the publisher? This presentation outlines a project that explores this question within Canadian copyright law.Item Crown copyright: More than just an outdated provision(2019-05-30) Wakaruk, AmandaPresentation at ABC Copyright 2019. Conference program abstract: Section 12 of the Copyright Act is at odds with the aims of Open Government and many government works have become inaccessible, or even been lost due to Crown copyright chill. This session will report on recent advocacy work to persuade Canada's federal government to update an antiquated and undemocratic copyright provision.Item CUSMA & Technical Protection Measures(2019-05-30) Tiessen, RobertIf CUSMA (aka USMCA or MUSCA) is ratified it will severely limit the ability of the Canadian Government to limit the impact technical protection measures on Canadians and Canadian libraries. Section 41 of the Copyright Act is already a Canadianized version of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act. After CUSMA is ratification, the Government will be extremely limited in making any changes to Section 41 of our Copyright Act because of the limits placed on Canada (and Mexico and the US) by the trade agreement. Going against CUSMA would require Canada to either convince both of its trade partners to amend CUSMA; or it would need to withdraw from the agreement. This presentation will take a look at how TPMs have evolved in international arena from the WIPO Copyright Treaty in 1996 through to current times. Then it will look at what kind of flexibility and exceptions CUSMA does allow member countries and what kinds of regulations or amendments to the Copyright Act that we might want to lobby for.Item Negotiating copyright in online creative spaces: how Canadian fan writers navigate and learn about law(2019-05-30) Katz, RebeccaThe Internet makes it easier than ever for users to access, transform or "remix", and distribute content. This technological and cultural revolution makes creators of us all - and makes copyright more relevant to more people. However, despite the ease of creating and sharing media online (as opposed to simply consuming: see Lessig, 2004), public copyright literacy has not necessarily increased. Amateur online creators typically lack formal copyright training, which may lead to legal misunderstandings or concerns, as well as an amateur-grown culture of informal copyright norms for negotiating the law. This research uses fan fiction writers as one example of online creators. Fan fiction refers to stories based on identifiable segments of popular culture, such as books, movies, or TV shows (Tushnet, 1997). Fan fiction is typically amateur-written and shared in free online communities. Fan fiction writers are one among many online subcultures who create second-generation works drawing on pre-existing media, and who are therefore copyright stakeholders. Prior research with fan creators indicates that copyright norms are prevalent in fan communities. Norms may track or integrate legal doctrine to varying degrees; however, misinformation also circulates in fan spaces, as creators may refer to peer sources and find legal texts inaccessible (Fiesler, Bruckman, 2014; Fiesler et al, 2015; Freund, 2014). This presentation reports on the author's preliminary dissertation findings regarding fan writers. It is interdisciplinary, drawing on scholarship in law, information studies, and fan studies. It presents a literature review of the subject as well as results from a pilot study and early qualitative interviews addressing how Canadian fans negotiate copyright. This research adds a Canadian perspective to the literature on online creators' copyright knowledge, research, and needs. It also adds further qualitative data about how stakeholders outside law, libraries, and traditional publishing negotiate copyright law in a global, digital context.
