Industry committee  We have been in discussions with the Canadian journals and others recently. It relates to Érudit to some degree, as well. We're very interested, because we support and host journals. Canadian research libraries host more than 400 Canadian journals. We want them to survive and thr

Industry committee  In terms of the purchase of licensed material?

Industry committee  For the CARL, the total annual university spending is $370 million. Our figure for our 29 academic libraries is $338 million in 2016-17. This is a CARL statistic; it's reliable. This compares to 2011-12 when it was $280.5 million. It's been a steady increase.

Industry committee  Well, prices go up. I think the licence costs have gone up over that time. If there's a change that's been seen, from the collectives' perspective, it has to do more with the changing marketplace and the fact there is other open access content. There are other types of things ha

Industry committee  At this point, the open access policy applies to journal articles. The CARL has a system of open repositories within the library sector that have been developed, institutional repositories, over the course of the last many years. Basically, we were very supportive of that policy

Industry committee  My sense would be that we would be very happy to provide such a thing. We can certainly do our best to research it and provide it, because I think the clarity of where we fit in the international picture is very important for the committee for sure.

Industry committee  Hello. My name is Susan Haigh and I am the Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries. The Canadian Association of Research Libraries, or CARL, is the national voice of Canada's 31 largest research libraries, 29 of which are located in Canada's most re

Information & Ethics committee  I think there's a point to be made about individual identification, such as whether the individual can specifically be identified, because there's a lot of good and new information available that is flowing because it can be aggregated. It's anonymous, really, because it's large-

Information & Ethics committee  Is this for more powers for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner?

Information & Ethics committee  I would say possibly.

Information & Ethics committee  I would tend to say not, but I think that things like pardons.... When information is mounted on the Internet in contravention of local policy, whether it's legislated or company policy or whatever, and when these things are without consent of individuals and there is something i

Information & Ethics committee  May I add to that? I think the question of when there is a privacy issue really is the question, and it really deserves some very careful thinking through, because, as you know, the Internet does allow much more visibility. We can take it back to the print era and think about wha

Information & Ethics committee  In our statement, that is what we were saying, that there is a likelihood that there are cases where delisting would make some sense. In some of the instances that were talked about, information is up on the web illegally anyway or is inaccurate, or perhaps it doesn't have the in

Information & Ethics committee  I think the same thing. On the question of whether privacy trumps freedom of expression rights or whether freedom of expression trumps privacy rights, the U.S. versus European model, our sense is that there might be something, a judicious “in-between”, that is worth exploring and

Information & Ethics committee  This was in the context of a specific example that we were citing, just something that arose within our context as a research library where a thesis.... It was content that was embedded in a chapter in a thesis that somebody had authored, of course; and the thesis is put up on th
