Copyright Office presents on changing Access Copyright Licensing Agreement.
As you may be aware, Dalhousie will be experiencing changes to our copyright licensing scheme effective January 1, 2016
To prepare for these changes, the team at the Copyright Office has had a busy fall providing 26 presentations on copyright to many of the university’s departments and faculties (including FASS, Science, Engineering, Health Professions and Medicine).
The goal of these short, 10-15 minute, presentations has been to discuss the changes in licensing, why they are important and the tools that faculty and instructors have at their disposal in making materials available.Although the major discussion has focused on Fair Dealing and licensing changes, the presentations have served as springboards for discussions on various copyright issues.
Check out some Common Copyright Questions.
Interested in having the Copyright Office team present to your faculty or department? Contact Copyright Services Coordinator, John Yolkowski by email at jyolkowski@dal.ca, or by phone at (902) 494-4346.

New sculpture at the Law Library
Have you had the opportunity to check out the beautiful new sculpture in the Law Library?
Sol is a metal and stone sculpture created in 2015 by Nova Scotia sculptor and blacksmith Brad Hall, whose forge is located in Annapolis Royal, NS. More specifically, the piece is comprised of forged steel atop a sandstone base, and its dimensions are approximately 65” x 49” x 39” (165cm x 124cm x 99cm).
It is a classic example of Hall’s work, particularly in its usage of forged metal with detail attributes that conclude or connect the carefully shaped strands of steel. As the title might suggest, it was inspired to some extent by historic sun dial designs, though it is not intended to be functional as such. The steel is intentionally rusted but stable, and this lends a timeless quality to the feeling of the piece and its materials. Not at all symmetrical, it is nevertheless intuitively well balanced, and different viewpoints reveal different interrelationships of the forms and the open spaces between them.
