Copyright issues are becoming increasingly important on university campuses as the debate over the future of copyright policy intensifies.
Western Libraries is hosting a guest lecture on Wednesday featuring associate professor Samuel Trosow, jointly appointed in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies and the Faculty of Law, who will address these topics. His lecture is titled, “The Copyright Debate: Finding the Right Balance for Teaching, Research, and Cultural Expression.”
This presentation will provide a brief overview of Canadian copyright law, consider how it is practiced on university campuses, and ask how the appropriate balance can be struck that will adequately protect creators while not becoming an impediment to teaching, learning, research and cultural expression.
The event will be held from 2-3 p.m. in Room NS1, Natural Sciences Centre and is open to everyone. No registration is required.
