The British Library has released "Copyright for Education and Research: Golden Opportunity or Digital Black Hole?"
Here's an excerpt:
The Golden Opportunity is:
- a vibrant research environment which fully utilises technological developments for education and research which in turn supports the UK’s knowledge economy.
The Digital Black Hole is:
- digital lockdown where access is restricted and education, research and the knowledge economy are stifled.
Also available is a MP3 audio file of the May 5th debate "Golden Opportunity or Digital Black Hole?" with Dame Lynne Brindley, David Lammy MP, Torin Douglas, Dr. Annette Davison, Simon Tanner and Rod Bristow. See the debate press release for details.
