Librarians Condemn

| June 27, 2006
Delegates to the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Library Association unanimously passed a resolution condemning Access Copyright's misguided "Captain Copyright" advocacy website. Resolution 4 condemns the Access Copyright initiative as posing "a threat to our shared information commons by providing biased copyright information to the Canadian public, particularly children and schoolteachers." The CLA will be writing to Access Copyright to condemn the initiative, and has asked its Copyright Working Group to "monitor and critique the views expressed by Access Copyright, in order to provide reliable copyright information to Canadian libraries and the broader public." - CLA Resoultion
