Industry committee  Yes, we can link directly to them online. The payment happens when we purchase the content in the first place, and it also gives us the rights to use it in these ways.

Industry committee  One in the summer term, and I think we had six this past winter term. The reason was that the content is available online now. We've purchased licences to access the content in those course packs. For instance, instead of putting together a course pack full of journal articles, w

Industry committee  That's the work I actually do. We go in. When instructors ask for content to be made available for a course, our electronic reserves management system is integrated with the learning management system, and we copyright-clear all the content that needs to be made available for cou

If a faculty member wants to get his or her research published in the most reputable journal in the field, if that happens to be a European journal or a U.S. j

Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  I would agree that the length of time the Copyright Board takes to make decisions has been problematic, and even more problematic is the the fact that payments are retroactive. The post-secondary sector has a tariff that extends back to 2011. When you talk about paying retroactiv

Industry committee  I would say that a number of factors caused us to decide to opt out. It really was precipitated by the Access Copyright agreement that we had, which was coming to an end, and Access Copyright's decision to file a tariff with the Copyright Board, which was a change in structure ar
