Now that the amendments to the Copyright Act are fully in force, a two-day
workshop on copyright will tour the chapters ensuring all AAO members have a
chance to refresh their knowledge on copyright.

This workshop provides an overview of the recently amended Canadian copyright
law and an opportunity to apply the law while discussing six case studies.

The first day is devoted to an intensive overview of how the Canadian copyright
law works. Topic covered include: categories of works, ownership of copyright,
term of copyright, economic and moral rights of copyright owners, exceptions,
penalties for infringement, international copyright, and how to analyse a
copyright problem.

The second day allows participants to apply what they have learned as they
discuss six case studies on the topics of: Photos, Unlocatable copyright owners,
Term of copyright in unpublished works, Copyright in foreign records, Donor
agreements, and Creating a website. Each case also raises a number of other
copyright questions that come up every day in reading rooms across the country.
The second day will conclude with a discussion of what your institution has to
do to comply with the changes to the Act.
