LIANZA is looking for library and information professionals or those from the wider cultural heritage sector who are members of LIANZA or Te Rōpū Whakahau and have expertise or an interest in copyright to join the LIANZA Standing Committee on Copyright.
“Being part of this committee has been amazing for my professional development and confidence around assessing and applying copyright. Being involved in the Copyright Act review alongside a great group of like-minded and experienced librarians is an amazing opportunity to advocate for the cultural sector and our patrons.”
Zoe Richardson, Auckland Museum and LSCC secretary
The Committee meets by Zoom monthly for an hour, and there can be work between meetings. With the aim of one in-person meeting per year, the expected time commitment is around 3-6 hours per month. Although there can be periods of intense work when preparing a submission, the committee shares the workload.
This committee is very collegial and joining is a great way to extend your awareness and understanding of New Zealand libraries' copyright issues. This is an exciting time to be working on copyright matters and joining the committee will give you the opportunity to help shape change. The review of the Copyright Act 1994 is likely to resume in 2025.
The initial commitment for membership is a three-year term. Sound like you?
“It is an unprecedented time of change within the copyright sector. Joining this team presents a real opportunity to make a difference in advocating for New Zealand libraries throughout this period of copyright flux.” Anna Rennie, former LSCC chair
