AddBy: [unknown]22nd Sep 2015 12:06PMSue - I think you're right about the TPP. That is why we are working to ensure that appropriate exemptions would be included in any changes to copyright legislation as a result of the TPP being signed. I will pass this comment on to Jennifer Campion - the Chair of our Copyright Committee. If you have any other suggestions around benefits we could lose let us know.
Thank you also for your suggestions around Open Access - this is on the agenda for the next phase of the Futures of Libraries work. We want to agree principles around open access that libraries commit to working towards.

This is already the case with all e-books - no ebook can be shared on ILL, so individual libraries must purchase access, either short-term or permanent.
If each library is forced to purchase material alone, without sharing or within consortias, then an enormous loss of efficiency of resources results. Libraries simply cannot purchase all the material its' patrons want.
Libraries need to aggressively challenge these new publisher models. One alternative option is for libraries to start funding and supporting open access publishing. The University of Bristol Library, for example, "provides researchers with advice and funds for making research outputs open access" : http://www.bris.ac.uk/library/

By: Susan Jane Thompson22nd Sep 2015 10:25AMSue Thompson here again from the University of Canterbury Library. Another issue is the TPP and copyright.
Currently in New Zealand University Libraries hold a CLNZ licence allows University Libraries certain provisions that would not be possible in the U.S. or even under NZ copyright. An example is the scanning of book chapters if owned by an institution's library - to be uploaded to an online course management system for multiple students in a class. Under the CLNZ licence, even a one-off purchase of a journal article online, may be shared for a class in this way (confirmed this with Paula Browning at Copyright Licensing NZ). The US system of licensing is very different - extra permissions must be sought or purchase to allow for us in a online or print course pack. My concern is if NZ signs up to the TPP, we will be further restricted in this way - which for already under-funded libraries, will have an impact on the service they can provide to patrons.

About this
It’s 2025. Libraries are an integral part of the community that they serve with everyone, from their stakeholders to their decision makers, passionate and informed supporters.
A single library card, issued to all kiwis at birth (along with their GST number) provides access to an incredible range of physical and digital resources. Not just information on demand, anywhere, anytime – but also experiences, ideas, and creativity.
Greater collaboration in the back-end with shared administration and more consortia purchasing releases the resources to develop greater diversity in the front end as libraries evolve and change in partnership with their communities.
The open access debate, extended to include not just content but the platforms that content sits on, has all but been won, as the economic benefits of “open” are first demonstrated then realised. Effective advocacy has ensured balanced copyright law in the wake of the TPP, and libraries are utilising shared resources to spark community innovation and creativity.
Biculturalism is no longer an aspirational goal but the operating norm, with many librarians operating in a bi-lingual environment. Librarian’s skillsets have also expanded into other areas, as has the variety of professionals incorporating library and information management components within their qualifications. From teachers to programmers to business professionals an understanding of the principles of information management is considered key. Libraries are not only the place to be but the place to work.
A seamless interface presents all New Zealand libraries to the user as a single network, supporting each kiwi from early childhood through to old age, providing support with literacy, learning, and social contact.
And it’s been at least five years since someone said that they thought libraries were an anachronism that was only about books.
