We are moving!
As of April 1 our new home will be 200 Military Road, above the Basilica offices in St. John’s.
Due to a few minor construction issues we will not actually be in our new space until mid-April, but we are still up and running. Contact us via e-mail or leave a message on our machine and we’ll get back to you.
Hoping to see you in our new space!
Hello all!
As we’re coming to the end of our Strategic Planning cycle and about to start another, we thought it was a good time to bring people together for a little celebration. Please join us for a free lunch between 12-2 on March 11 in the City Archives. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the new strategic plan, please bring those with you. (Suggestions may be submitted anonymously). If not, we’ll simply enjoy a little midday break.
Attached is a copy of the last strategic plan, which was for 2010-2015.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2010 2015
We’d like to open this event to everyone working in archives. Feel free to share this invite with your colleagues who may not be ANLA members.
Please RSVP (709) 726- 2867 or anla@nf.aibn.com
For those of you who can’t make the lunch, we welcome your comments and suggestions by email, mail or telephone.
Regards,
Emily
The Association of Newfoundland and Labrador Archives presents a 2-day workshop: Copyright for Archives When: March 7-8, 2016
Where: The Rooms Theatre
Instructor: Dr. Jean Dryden.
ANLA presents a two-day workshop providing an overview of the Canadian Copyright Act and related case law of particular relevance to archivists in Newfoundland and Labrador. The first day will provide an intensive overview of how the Canadian copyright law works, with particular attention to its application in the digital environment.
Topics to be covered include: categories of works, ownership and duration of copyright, economic rights of copyright owners, moral rights of authors, users’ rights, international copyright, and how to analyze a copyright problem. The second day will give participants an opportunity to apply what they have learned as they discuss case studies about copyright issues of interest to archivists, including (but not limited to) photographs, digitizing holdings, and orphan works.
Fees: $100 for ANLA members $150 for non-members
Instructor: Jean Dryden’s expertise in copyright has been developed over many years of experience as an archivist. As Chair of the Bureau of Canadian Archivists Copyright Committee, she played a lead role in successful lobbying for exceptions for libraries, archives and museums during the discussions leading to the 1997 amendments to the Copyright Act. Her doctoral dissertation (Toronto, 2008) investigated the copyright practices of Canadian archival repositories in making their holdings available online. From 2008-2011, she taught at the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland, where she was the principal investigator for a comparative research study that examined the copyright practices of American archival repositories and their impact on users. She is the author of Demystifying Copyright: A Researcher’s Guide to Copyright in Canadian Libraries and Archives (2014). She teaches copyright courses for the School of Continuing Studies at the University of Toronto and for the Society of American Archivists. She is currently pursuing a LLM degree, specializing in Intellectual Property, at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University.
