Empowering Information Professionals: A TrainingProgramme on Information and Communication
Technology
General Guidelines
Introductory NoteLibrary schools are now changing their curricula to produce graduates who are preparedfor the changing service requirements that libraries offer. The majority of practitioners,however, graduated before the advent of the Information Age or studied in schools thatdid not teach information and communication technologies (ICTs) for various reasons.This group of practitioners is now finding itself unprepared for the new demands of theprofession. “Empowering Information Professionals: A Training Programme on Informationand Communication Technology” this identified need.
People working in libraries and information centres are the primary target group of thistraining programmes. It is intended to provide them with the knowledge and skills todeal with the application of ICTs to library and information services. It is also intendedfor use by teachers of students in library schools and by library and information centrepersonnel. The Package has been developed by the UNESCO Asia and Pacific RegionalOffice with funding from the Japanese Funds-in-Trust for Communication and Information.
RationaleIn 1961, Marion Harper Jr. wrote, “To manage a business well is to manage its future;and to manage the future is to manage information.”1 Less than 25 years later, JohnNaisbitt, in discussing ten megatrends that were happening in the US, said “None ismore subtle, yet more explosive, I think than this first, the megashift from an industrialto an information society.”2 According to Naisbitt, “In 1950, only 17 percent of usworked in information jobs. Now more than 60 percent of us work with information asprogrammers, teachers, clerks, secretaries, accountants, stock brokers, managers,insurance people, bureaucrats, lawyers, bankers and technicians.”3 He groups librariansamong professional workers who “are almost all information workers…”
As society moves forward in using information to improve the quality of life, it is criticalthat the professionals in charge of creating, collecting, communicating, and consolidating

information are knowledgeable and skilled in using technologies that make these activitiesmore efficient. Librarians and other information professionals have a unique role ineducation and society. They are responsible for providing citizens with equal access toinformation and for preserving knowledge for the next generation. Traditional librarieswill stand the test of time, but ICTs also have brought about a transition from analog todigital forms of information creation and delivery. Thus, the information age is alsocalled the “digital age,” and the society is called an “information society” that ischaracterized by ICTs and information-literate individuals who demand fast and efficient24 × 7 access to information.

Teaching Tips for Face-to-Face Instruction of Modules(Please note that Module 5 is delivered by online mode. Instructions for it are providedin the module.)
� Speak slowly and clearly to ensure that students can follow you – this is especiallyimportant if some or all of the students do not have English as their first language.
� Do not read your lecture notes verbatim. This is a sure way of losing yourstudents’ attention.
� Always show an interest in what you are teaching.
� The modules have been carefully planned, with exercises and discussions as wellas lectures. Try to follow the schedule as set out in each module.
� Try to use examples as often as possible to explain concepts. If the examples aretaken from the students’ own countries or regions, so much the better.
� Try to keep within the daily timetable recommended for the module – if you getbehind in one lesson it may be difficult to make up time in a later lesson. Avoidextending the class beyond the time period allotted.
� Be prepared to use back-up materials if for any reason the computer will notfunction during a lesson.
� Try to answer all questions from students, but if you do not know the answer toa question, it is better to admit it than to try and bluff.
� Make sure that all equipment needed for a lesson is working properly before thelesson begins – things can often go wrong!
� Be ready to stay behind for a few minutes after each lesson to answer questionsthat students may have, but that they did not wish to ask in class.
Module EvaluationAt the end of a module, ask your students to evaluate it. The evaluation of the moduleby the students is meant to help you improve your teaching and should be seen in thislight rather than as a criticism of yourself. Make use of it to do an even better job nexttime. The evaluation form is found after the last lesson of each module.

Module 9: Intellectual Property Rights in theDigital Age
Lesson 1: What Are Intellectual Property Rights?
IntroductionLibraries are committed to providing equitable access to information to the communitiesthey serve. How do intellectual property rights and copyright affect this mission? Thepurpose of copyright is to protect the author while at the same time benefiting the userof information. It balances the interests of the copyright holder and the users. Whatare the rights and responsibilities of individuals and libraries under copyright law?
What is Intellectual Property Right?The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the specialized agency of theUnited Nations that is dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible internationalintellectual property (IP) system which rewards creativity, stimulates innovation andcontributes to economic development while safeguarding the public interest (WIPO,2006). It is an intergovernmental organization that administers a number of internationaltreaties. In 1996, two of these treaties were concluded in Geneva. The first is theWIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT), while the second is the WIPO Performances andPhonograms Treaty (WPPT).
The purpose of the two treaties is to update and supplement the major existing WIPOtreaties on copyright and related rights in response to developments in technology andthe information industry, including developments in the dissemination of materialsover the Internet.
WIPO defines intellectual property as “creations of the mind: inventions, literary andartistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce.” Accordingto WIPO, “Intellectual property is divided into two categories: Industrial Property,which includes invention (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographicindications of source; and copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such asnovels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings,photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs. Related rights to copyrightinclude those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms intheir recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programmes.”
Module 9 will not cover industrial property. It will only discuss copyright andrelated rights as they apply to the library setting. The purpose of the module is to givea general introduction to copyright and the impact of the Internet on it.

Module 9
Teacher’s Guide
What is Copyright?Copyright is a legal term describing rights given to creators for their literary andartistic works. Copyright protection is automatic whether the work is registered or not.As soon as the work is written, it is protected. The kinds of works covered bycopyright include: literary works such as novels, poems, plays, reference works,newspapers and computer programs; databases; films, musical compositions andchoreography; and artistic works such as drawings, photographs and sculpture. (WIPO,2006). It does not protect ideas, concepts, styles, techniques and information; namestitles and slogans; people and people’s images.
Copyright is complex and varies from country to country. The Berne and RomeConventions govern international copyright law. Each country has its own applicationsof the law. For example, in the United States the Digital Millennium Copyright Actwas passed in 1998 to address digitally-networked environments. Australia’s CopyrightAct (1968) has been regularly amended to address changes in the informationenvironment. In the Philippines, the latest version of the law took effect in 1998.

4. American Library Association. ALA Copyright Issues. http://www.ala.org/ala/washoff/WOissues/copyrightb/copyright.htm
Who Owns Copyright?In general, the creator of the work owns the copyright. In cases when there are two ormore creators, it is important to have a written agreement as to who owns the copyright.There are, however, exemptions to this rule and such exemptions vary from country tocountry. It is recommended that users of copyrighted material refer to the copyrightprovisions for the appropriate country. Examples follow.
� Employees. In Australia, when the work is done by an employee during officehours as part of the job, the employer will own the work. This is also true in thePhilippines unless otherwise specified. If the work is not part of regular duties,however, the employee will own the copyright even if the time, facilities andmaterials of the employer were used to create it.

Module 9
Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Age
� Government agency.4 In the Philippines, no copyright will subsist in any workof the government agency; however, prior approval of the agency is required forexploitation of such work for profit.
Copyright Owner’s Exclusive Rights
� Right to reproduce the work (including photocopying, copying by hand, filmimg,recording and scanning).
� Make the work public for the first time.
� Communicate the work to the public.
� Perform the work in public (including showing films, playing recordings).
� Make an adaptation (including translation, dramatization, transcription).
� Transmitting files and sound recordings to the public using any form of technology(via e-mail, broadcasting, etc.).
� Re-broadcasting by television or sound broadcasts.
Copyright can also be reassigned (for example, to a publisher) and/or expire after thedeath of the author. The duration of copyright varies from country-to-country. In thePhilippines copyright lasts for the duration of the life of the creator plus 50 years. InAustralia, effective January 1, 2005, the duration of copyright is the duration of the lifeof the creator plus 70 years, or 70 years from the time the work is first published.
What is Copyright Infringement?In general, copyright infringement consists of using material protected by copyrightwithout permission from the owner, or authorizing and/or selling an infringement.
Examples:� Authors may use technology to protect digital material from copyright infringement.
Under the copyright act, owners may take action against people who circumventtechnological protection measures (TPMs) without permission
� Using information without permission, if the material used is an important partor is a large part of the work, without the author’s permission
� Reproduction of the work or a substantial portion of the work
� Dramatization, translation, adaptation, abridgement, arrangement or othertransformation of the work (Philippines)
� Rental of the original copy of an audiovisual or cinematographic work, a workembodied in a sound recording, a computer program, a compilation of data andother materials or a musical work in graphic form, irrespective of the ownershipof the original or the copy which is the subject of the rental

Teacher’s Guide
� Public performance of the work
� Public display of the work
Non-infringement ActivitiesThere are uses of copyright material without permission which are allowable. Theprovisions of the law are very specific regarding these cases. Only the provisions for“fair use” for the individual, provisions for copying by libraries and educationalinstitutions (including performances and displays in face-to-face teaching and distanceeducation) will be discussed.
Morals RightsIn addition to copyright, creators have “moral rights.” These are a creator’s rights tobe identified as the creator of a work, and to take legal action if the work is falselyattributed to someone else or distorted.
What is First Sale?According to Russel (2003), “Once a library or an individual has lawfully acquireda copy of a work, the first sale doctrine of the copyright law (17 U.S.C. Section 109)allows that the library or individual may exercise another exclusive right of copyright –the right to distribute the copy – without permission of the copyright holder. First saleenables libraries to loan books or conduct inter-library loans without committing copyrightinfringement.” However, the library or individual must also observe provisions of “fairuse.”
What is Fair Use?The provisions of RA 8293 (Philippines) will be cited here. Comparison with provisionsin other countries will be made as appropriate.5 In general, these provisions are similarto those in other countries although there might be variations in certain specificapplications.
“The fair use of a copyrighted work for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching(including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, research, and similar purposesis not an infringement of copyright. Decompilation, which is understood here to be thereproduction of the code and translation of the forms of the computer program toachieve the inter-operability of an independently created computer program with otherprograms, may also constitute fair use. In determining whether the use made of a workin any particular case is fair use, the factors to be considered shall include:
(a) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is ofa commercial nature or is for non-profit educational purposes;

16
Module 9
Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Age
(b) The nature of the copyrighted work;
(c) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrightedwork as a whole; and
(d) The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrightedwork.”
The 4-Factor Test for Fair Use
� What is the character of the use? Is it nonprofit, educational or personal? If youranswer is yes, it could be considered fair use.
� What is the nature of the copyrighted work? Is it fact or is it imaginative? If it isfact, the fair use principle could probably be applied.
� What is the amount and substantiality of the portion used? Is it just a smallamount relative to the whole? Is it a big portion of the work? If the answer is yesand it is a small amount, then fair use could apply.
� Will the use of the material have impact on the potential market for the material?If the answer is yes and the creator of the work will lose money substantially,then the use is not fair.
The private reproduction of a published work in a single copy, where the reproductionis made by a natural person exclusively for research and private study, shall be permitted,without the authorization of the owner of the copyright of the work. Copying however,shall not extend to:
� the reproduction of an entire book, or a substantial part thereof, or of a musicalwork in graphic form by reprographic means;
� a compilation of data and other materials;
� a computer program;
� any work where reproduction would unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interestof the author.
The copying or adaptation of a computer program is limited to the necessity for
� the use of the computer program in conjunction with the computer for the purpose,and to the extent for which the computer program has been obtained; and
� archival purposes, and for the replacement of the lawfully owned copy of thecomputer program if lost, destroyed or rendered unusable.
The guideline for “fair use” is: limited content (small portion of the work), limitedtime (used in a semester and not repeatedly used by the same teacher for the subjectyear after year) and limited access (not to be distributed to non-members of the class).Access should be terminated after the term. Students may keep materials and images

Teacher’s Guide
in their portfolios. In addition, the copyright notices on the original, and appropriatecitations and attributions to the source, must be included. If, however, the materials areto be repeatedly used, permission must be obtained from the copyright owner.
Library’s Special RightsLibraries are authorized to exercise special rights in addition to fair use. Some of theseare:
� Archiving lost, stolen, damaged or deteriorating works
� Making copies for library patrons
� Making copies for other libraries’ patrons (inter-library loan)
Performances and Displays in Face-to-Face Teaching and DistanceEducationEducational institutions are also authorized to publicly display and perform others’works in the course of face-to-face teaching activities, and to a lesser degree in distanceeducation. Course pack materials must be limited to a single chapter, single articlesfrom a journal issue, several charts, graphs or illustrations and other similarly smallparts of a work. The copyright notices on the original and appropriate citations andattributions to the source must be included in the course packs. If, however, thematerials are to be repeatedly used, permission must be obtained from the copyrightowner.
Copyrighted materials may be incorporated into multimedia works and displayed orperformed by students and faculty in connection with the creation of: class assignments,curriculum materials, instruction, examinations, professional conferences, seminars,etc.

Lesson 2: Are Existing Copyright Laws Applicablein the Digital Age?
IntroductionIn today’s networked society, the community served by the library is no longer confinedto the academic campus or town. The community is the entire world, accessinginformation from anywhere. Libraries, too, have expanded and have websites that actas portals to information that they contain. In addition, inter-library loans can be in theform of materials sent digitally.
On the other hand, while information technologies have enhanced the creation anddistribution of information, these same technologies can control public access toinformation. Commercial companies have added tools to their products that disallowaccess unless the proper user identification and passwords are presented. These practiceshinder electronic transfer of information.
The purpose of copyright law is to balance the rights of copyright holders and users. Isexisting copyright law still applicable to the digital age? Libraries pay for informationto equitably deliver it to their communities. As more and more information becomesavailable in digital format, care must be taken by libraries to ensure that the public canenjoy the same access rights as with printed information.
Activity 2.1Visit the following sites for insight on the ethics of use of digital materials.
1. Web Site Legal Issues – http://www.bitlaw.com/internet/webpage.html
2. Ethics of Internet use – http://onlineethics.org/topics/interethics.html
3. Keeping it Legal: Copyright and Other Legal Issues Arising out ofWeb Site Management http://fno.org/jun96/legal.html
The Digital CopyCopyright is based on the copy of the material. In the print era, the copy was tangible,and one of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder is the right to make a copy. Inthe digital age, digital copies are created as soon as the material is accessed. It iscopied to the cache of the computer. The digital copy is also very easy to modify,manipulate and distribute. In addition, digital copies have no permanency. Thus, forlibraries, the digital copy may not be owned, but only leased. Once the subscription isstopped, the copy is lost. The concept of first sale may also not be applicable to digitalmaterials because of the lack of ownership. Libraries now have problems engaging incirculation and inter-library loans because of the absence of a tangible copy.
Module 9Lesson 2

Module 9
Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Age
Licensing vs. OwnershipToday, libraries do not purchase digital materials to own. Instead, they purchase theright to access, which requires an ongoing subscription. Licenses are contracts betweenthe library and the supplier of the information and dictate what the library can orcannot do with the materials. Although access is faster and wider, what users can do orcannot do are also affected by licensing issues.
Preservation IssuesCopyright law allows libraries to make copies of print and digital materials forpreservation purposes. Libraries that license digital materials may not have thecontractual right to preserve materials. It is also unclear how best to preserve digitalmaterials because they are linked to available technology for access.
Copyright aggregators also have the right to circumvent copyright because they areallowed to use password protected or encrypted work without prior authorization of thecopyright holder. This means that they could deny access to the public.
Electronic ReservesCopyright law limits reserve materials to single chapters, articles, several charts, andother illustrations, or other small portions of the work, and to copies of materials thata faculty member of the library already possesses legally (by purchase, license, fairuse, inter-library loan, etc.). The copyright notice on the original, and appropriatecitations and attributions to the source, must be included at all times. Access shouldalso be limited to the members of the class and must be terminated at the end of theterm. Permission must be obtained for materials that will be repeatedly used.
Activity 2.2Use the Internet to search for laws in your own country that affect copyrightin the digital age. If there are none, look for the copyright provisions thataffect libraries in your country.
Exemption for Libraries and Archives“Section 404 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) updates section 108 ofthe Copyright Act to allow libraries and archives to take advantage of digital technologieswhen engaging in specified preservation activities. The amendment to subsection108(a)(3) is intended to ease the burden on libraries and archives of the current law’srequirement that a notice of copyright be included on copies that are reproduced undersection 108. Under this amendment, such notice would be required only where theparticular copy that is reproduced by the library or archive itself bears a notice. Theamendment to subsection 108(b) permits a library or archive to make up to three copies
Module 9Lesson 2

Module 9
Teacher’s Guide
or phonorecords, rather than just one, for purposes of preservation and security or fordeposit for research use in another library or archives, and permits such copies orphonorecords to be made in digital as well as analog formats. The amendment providesthat any such copy in a digital format must not be otherwise distributed in that formatand must not be available to the public outside the premises of the library or archives.”6
Provisions of Section 108 “Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Reproduction by Librariesand Archives” state:
� Libraries may photocopy journal articles, book chapters, etc. and send thesecopies to other libraries through inter-library loan.
� Copies must include a notice of copyright that appears on the copy when available.If the work does not include a notice of copyright stamp, a note must be includedto state that the work is protected by copyright.
� A library may make up to three copies of a published work to replacea damaged, deteriorating, lost or stolen work (when an unused replacement cannotbe obtained at a fair cost). The library may also make up to three digital copiesto replace a work in an obsolete format as long as that format is not madeavailable to the public outside of the library or archives.
� A library or archives may reproduce, distribute, display or perform in facsimileor digital form any work in the last 20 years of its copyright term for purposes ofpreservation, research or scholarship provided that the work is not subject tonormal commercial exploitation, a copy cannot be obtained at a reasonable price,and the copyright holder has not filed notice with the Register of CopyrightRegulation that either of the above conditions apply.
The DMCA was passed on October 12, 1998 by Congress and became effective in 2000.
ConclusionAlthough the DMCA became effective in 200, there are still many unsettled issues andconcerns about copyright in the digital age. This is a problem in the United States aselsewhere. Again as a reminder, consult a lawyer for specific copyright issues.
AssessmentWrite down some copying practices in your library. Are these infringementsof copyright? How do you propose to solve these issues to protect yourlibrary and your institution?Module 9

Empowering Information Professionals:
A Training Programme on Information and
Communication Technology
General Guidelines for the Student
Introductory Note Library schools are now changing their curricula to produce graduates who are prepared
for the changing service requirements in libraries. The majority of practitioners, however,
graduated before the advent of the Information Age or studied in schools that did not
teach ICTs for various reasons. This group of practitioners is now finding itself
unprepared for the new demands of the profession. This Training Programme is in
response to this identified need.
People working in libraries and information centers are the primary target group of the
Training Programme. It is intended to provide them with the knowledge and skills to deal
with the application of ICTs to library and information services. It is also intended for use
by teachers of students in library schools and of personnel in library and information
centers. The Package has been developed by the UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional
Office with funding from the Japanese Funds in Trust for Communication and
Information.
Rationale In 1961, Marion Harper Jr. wrote, “To manage a business well is to manage its future;
and to manage the future is to manage information.”1 Less than 25 years later, John
Naisbitt, in discussing the ten megatrends in his opinion were happening in the US, said
“None is more subtle, yet more explosive, I think than this first, the megashift from an
industrial to an information society.”2 According to Naisbitt, “In 1950, only 17 percent
of us worked in information jobs. Now more than 60 percent of us work with information
as programmers, teachers, clerks, secretaries, accountants, stock brokers, managers,
insurance people, bureaucrats, lawyers, bankers and technicians.” He groups librarians
among professional workers who “are almost all information workers…”3 Today, society
is in the “Information Age,” an age where information is power.

Who Owns Copyright?
� In general, the creator of the work owns the
copyright
� In cases when there are two or more creators, it is
important to have a written agreement as to who
owns the copyright - there are, however,
exemptions to this rule, and such exemptions vary
from country to country
� Copyright can also be reassigned (for example, to
a publisher) and/or expire after the death of the
author

What is the First Sale Doctrine?� When a library or an individual has lawfully
acquired a copy of a work, the first sale doctrine of
the copyright law (17 USC Section 109) allows
that the library or individual may exercise another
exclusive right of copyright – the right to distribute
the copy without permission of the copyright
holder
� First sale enables libraries to loan books or
conduct interlibrary loans without committing
copyright infringement

Introduction The purpose of copyright law is to
balance the rights of copyright holders and
users. Is existing copyright law still
applicable in the digital age? Libraries pay
for information to equitably deliver it to their
communities. As more and more information
becomes available in digital format, care
must be taken by libraries to ensure that the
public can enjoy the same access rights as
with printed information.

Module 9 Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Age
Lesson 1
What Are Intellectual Property Rights?
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 2
Introduction
Libraries are institutions committed to
providing equitable access to information for
the communities they serve. How do
intellectual property rights and copyright
affect this mission?
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 3
What Are Intellectual Property Rights?
� WIPO defines intellectual property as
“creations of the mind: inventions, literary
and artistic works, and symbols, names,
images, and designs used in commerce”
� According to WIPO, “Intellectual property
is divided into two categories: Industrial
property and copyright
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 4
What is Copyright?
� Copyright is a legal term describing rights
given to creators for their literary and
artistic works. Copyright protection is
automatic whether the work is registered
or not. As soon as the work is written, it is
protected.
� Copyright is complex and varies from
country to country
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 5
Activity 9.1.1

� Stanford University. Copyright Law and Fair Use. http://www-sul.stanford.edu/cpyright.html
� Library of Congress. Copyright Office. Copyright Basics. http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ1.html
� Copyright Office Basics. http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html
� American Library Association. ALA Copyright Issues.http://www.ala.org/ala/washoff/WOissues/copyrightb/copyright.htm
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 6
Who Owns Copyright?
� In general, the creator of the work owns the
copyright
� In cases when there are two or more creators, it is
important to have a written agreement as to who
owns the copyright - there are, however,
exemptions to this rule, and such exemptions vary
from country to country
� Copyright can also be reassigned (for example, to
a publisher) and/or expire after the death of the
author
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 7
Copyright Owner’s Exclusive Rights� To reproduce the work
� To make the work public for the first time
� To communicate the work to the public
� To perform the work in public
� To make an adaptation
� To transmit files and sound recordings to the
public using any form of technology
� To re-broadcast by television or radio broadcasts
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 8
How long will a Copyright Last?� The duration of copyright varies from country to country
� in the Philippines copyright lasts for the duration of the life of the creator plus 50 years
� in Australia, effective January 1, 2005, the duration of copyright is the duration of the life of the creator plus 70 years or 70 years from the time the work is first published.
� in the US provisions are more complicated
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 9
What is Copyright Infringement?
� Copyright infringement is using material
protected by copyright without permission
from the owner or authorizing and/or
selling an infringement
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 10
Activities that do not Infringe Copyright
� Those that fall under fair use
� Use of information, etc, not covered by
copyright
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 11
Works not Protected by Copyright� Ideas, procedures, systems, methods or operation, concept, principle, discovery or mere data as such even if expressed, explained, illustrated or embodied in a work
� News of the day and other miscellaneous facts having the character of mere items of press information
� Any official text of a legislative, administrative or legal nature, as well as any official translation thereof
� Works of the government; however, prior approval is required for exploitation of such work for profit
� The authors of speeches, lectures, sermons, addresses and dissertations shall have the exclusive right of making a collection of their works
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 12
Morals Rights
In addition to copyright, creators have
“moral rights”
These are rights attributed as creator of the
work, and take action if falsely attributed to
someone else, or if the work is distorted
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 13
What is the First Sale Doctrine?� When a library or an individual has lawfully
acquired a copy of a work, the first sale doctrine of
the copyright law (17 USC Section 109) allows
that the library or individual may exercise another
exclusive right of copyright – the right to distribute
the copy without permission of the copyright
holder
� First sale enables libraries to loan books or
conduct interlibrary loans without committing
copyright infringement
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 14
Fair Use GuidelinesThe private reproduction of a published work in a single copy, where the reproduction is made by a natural person exclusively for research and private study, shall be permitted, without the authorization of the owner of the copyright of the work
Copying however, shall not extend to:
� The reproduction of an entire book, or a substantial part thereof, or of a musical work in graphic form by reprographic means
� A compilation of data and other materials
� A computer program
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 15
Fair Use Guidelines (2)
� Any work where reproduction would unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interest of the author
� Copying or adaptation of a computer program is limited to the necessity for the use of the computer program in conjunction with the computer for the purpose, and to the extent for which the computer program has been obtained
� Archival purposes, and, for the replacement of the lawfully owned copy if the computer program is lost, destroyed or rendered unusable
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 16
The Four-Factor Test for Fair UseUse this test to determine if the use is fair
� The purpose and character of the use, including
whether such use is of a commercial nature or is
for non-profit educational purposes
� The nature of the copyrighted work
� The amount and substantiality of the portion used
in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
� The effect of the use upon the potential market for
or value of the copyrighted work
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 17
Library’s Special Rights
Libraries are authorized to exercise
special rights in addition to fair use. Some of
these are:
�Archiving lost, stolen, damaged or
deteriorating works
�Making copies for library patrons
�Making copies for other libraries’ patrons
(interlibrary loan)
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 18
Performances and Displays in Face-to-Face Teaching and Distance Education

others’ works in the course of face-to-face
teaching activities, and to a lesser degree in
distance education

International Copyright Protection
There is no such thing, but most
countries do offer protection for foreign
works under copyright treatises and
conventions
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 1 21
Reminder
� If in doubt about the provisions of the law for a particular application, ask permission to use the material from the copyright owner and/or consult a lawyer because copyright laws in different countries vary
� Remember that because of international conventions, there is reciprocity in the law with countries that are party to the convention, treaty or agreement relating to intellectual property rights

Module 9 Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Age
Lesson 2
Are Existing Copyright Laws Applicable in the Digital
Age?
UNESCO EIPICT MODULE 9. LESSON 2 2
Introduction The purpose of copyright law is to
balance the rights of copyright holders and
users. Is existing copyright law still
applicable in the digital age? Libraries pay
for information to equitably deliver it to their
communities. As more and more information
becomes available in digital format, care
must be taken by libraries to ensure that the
public can enjoy the same access rights as
with printed information.
