Media release by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) Monday 10 September 2012, opposing the reduction in funding to Queensland government libraries.
The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) and the Australian Law Librarians’ Association (ALLA) join with the Australian Libraries Copyright Committee (ALCC) and Australian Digital Alliance (ADA) in commending changes to the Copyright Act, which will introduce the concept of fair use and help ‘future-proof’ the law. We also support the Parliamentary Library’s submission advocating for the retention of a specific exception for parliamentary libraries.
