In its recent IP report, the Productivity Commission has recommended that Australia adopt a fair use exception, in part because of the benefits it would provide for libraries and archives. This session brings together high profile local and world-renowned international experts to answer frequently asked questions about fair use, including:
- Why do Australian libraries and archives need fair use?
- How will it change the way we do things?
- How will it help our clients?
Attend this session and be part of the global discussion.
