Three new members have been accepted to the LIANZA Standing Committee on Copyright (LSCC). They are Lee Rowe, Bridget Knuckey, and Rose Beasley. LIANZA was delighted with the number of expressions of interest received. The standing committee will now have 10 members, with balance of representatives from across different library sectors.
Lee Rowe of Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology has an interest in the ethical issues around the sharing of human expression and the knowledge that it encompasses. She believes there is a need to balance the rights of creators with the rights to use and share knowledge that benefit society.
She has been working at Toi Ohomai since 2008 where she manages copyright policies and procedures for the team there. This has resulted in her becoming knowledgeable about copyright legislation, copyright licenses, Creative Commons licenses and open access publishing. Lee has increased her understanding of Matāuranga Māori and indigenous knowledge over recent years and helped provide training in this area.

Rose Beasley of the University of Auckland was involved in the university’s set up and use of Talis Reading Lists software as part of the Copyright Licensing NZ (CLNZ) license requirements from 2015-16. She found it both interesting and challenging to engage with the Copyright Act in this context and has retained an ongoing interest in copyright issues.
She has an awareness of CLNZ licenses for education and its application, as well as experience managing copyright issues in a tertiary sector library.

Bridget Knuckey works at the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki. She is currently the Copyright Officer there with responsibility for ensuring staff adhere to the requirements of the CLNZ licensing requirements and the Copyright Act 1994.
Bridget also provides resources which give ākonga (students) an awareness of their responsibilities under the Act. She has undertaken two data collections for CLNZ and is aware of the confusion and concerns around some aspects of licence agreements and the Copyright Act 1994.
