Joint submission from library and information service-related organisations to the safe and responsible AI in Australia discussion paper
A position statement for NSLA libraries staff and users about the importance of copyright in self-copying, and the rights, obligations and liabilities that it imposes.
Principles and standards of a reasonably diligent search by a library to identify the copyright owner before using an orphan work.
Guidance on the process of identifying and locating rights owners where they are unknown, anonymous or uncontactable.
NSLA member libraries acknowledge their collective, individual and moral responsibilities to ensure that management and access to First Nations collection materials is culturally informed and respectful, including recognition and protection of the ongoing, communal nature of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) rights.
NSLA supports and respects the rights of creators (including their personal, moral rights), copyright owners, and those who seek to access and use the large number of works held in our collections.
NSLA libraries’ response to the Australian Copyright Enforcement Review 2023 supports an enforcement scheme that recognises the importance of providing legitimate means of accessing and using material.
NSLA is committed to releasing materials it creates under Creative Commons licences to foster a positive, permissions-based environment for researchers, library professionals, educators, and anyone who wants to make use of our material.
As custodians of a large volume of collection materials relating to and created by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, languages and cultures, NSLA’s Australian member libraries acknowledge our collective, individual and moral responsibilities to ensure that management and access is culturally informed and respectful. NSLA libraries support the creation of First Nations-led stand-alone legislation to protect ICIP and IK.
How moral rights are applied in NSLA libraries for works created by staff, contractors or volunteers.
