This has been a huge eye opener since I started working in a College Library.

This should be a right to all students in the k-12 education system, not just those who choose to go to university/college.

This isn't very surprising, especially now that this current generation is considered to be tech savy and think that they understand how research works since they have access to Google.

Again, I'd like to discuss how we do this during such a controversial time, while making all of our patrons feel safe in our libraries.

I'm having a bit of trouble coming to terms with this. Due to the recent election results, how do we provide library resources for "all people" without making our patrons feel unsafe or unaccepted? I feel like this is a very important thing to discuss now that we are entering such a controversial time.

I would have liked to know the geographical breakdown of the respondents to see if there were trends or themes within the different parts of Canada.

I wonder if this is because they consider YouTube videos to still be public domain.

It would be neat if universities set up some sort of online "Ask a Copyright Officer" virtual reference chat to make this less time consuming.

Yes. I've heard time and time again (from current academic librarians) that librarians need to get better that marketing themselves and what we do.

This basically forces them to have some sort of relationship with the librarians. However, this is also a way for administration to avoid making it mandatory that their teaching staff is training in copyright and fair dealing. I don't know if I like this policy.

I wonder if this result is biased based on the fact that they know they're surveyed about copyright?

Yikes. I wonder why they asked colleagues instead of librarians?

Would be interested in hearing how librarians in our LISJC community reach out to faculty and staff regarding copyright issues.

Perhaps this has to do with lack of technology? This was found in a study published in 1999.

I think we should be focusing on how can we convince administration to implement this.

I'd be interesting in hearing why these Universities decided to separate from Access Copyright. Im assuming it mostly has to do with money, but maybe also because they didn't see value in AC?

This seems strange to me. You can copy up to 10% of a copyright protected work. Why 30 seconds of a song? What if a song is 15 minutes or 1 minute?

Is this not reason enough to make it mandatory that their teaching staff are appropriately trained on copyright and fair dealing? I think this would also foster a closer relationship between the teaching staff and librarians.

But is it really that surprising?

This.

My final thoughts: It is rather difficult to call upon professionals to essentially sacrifice their professional wellbeing for open access publishing. I believe that we need to focus our activism on changing the foundation of what is valued in the field. It needs to start being recognized that librarians publishing in open access journals is fundamentally the only appropriate publishing option for the field and should merit tenure not the other way around. Having some sort of an incentive for publishing open access is going to be a game changer for rallying people to this very important cause.

Gosh, I sure wish I had learned about this in Library School..........

This journal selection process is not exactly reproducible. This creates a problem as there is no way to independently verify that proper steps were taken to eliminate a selection bias. Any criteria that was used to select these journals should be clearly defined somewhere.
