13.45 Workshop 1
Andrew Braid
Implementing the new copyright legislation

ANDREW BRAID is head of Licensing and Copyright Compliance at the British
Library.

He joined the former National Lending Library for Science and Technology at Boston Spa in 1968. He has held a variety of posts including management of the literature stores and reprographic unit, the conservation unit, stock relocation, building planning and service development. For the past 5 years he has been involved in negotiating licences with the CLA for the provision of copyright cleared copies and with publishers for use of electronic journals in the Library’s document supply services and reading rooms. He is currently overseeing a programme of changes to ensure that all the Library’s services conform the with EU copyright directive.

Synopsis

Although we have not yet seen the new legislation we have a fair idea of what will be in it. This workshop will highlight the areas that are likely to cause problems such as the commercial / non- commercial distinction and the changes to fair dealing and library privilege. There will also be advice on how to make sure services are compliant after the legislation change. New licensing schemes such as the sticker scheme are being developed and these will be explained in more detail. However, there are some areas that will need further action and discussion and these will also be highlighted. At the end of the workshop the delegates should have a better understanding of the impact of the legislation and have some idea of how to make their services copyright compliant.
