Hello everyone. My name is Kim and I am the University Librarian at AUT in NZ. It is lovely to be here in Brisbane. As I am still adjusting to the summers in NZ. This is my first insights and I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.
In the next 30 minutes we are going to explore digital citizenship and of which an understanding of copyright is a part of. Copyright compliance or “enabling” our AUT community to do COPY right is something that we are grappling with at AUT in one of our TALIS project which now into it’s second year and I am going to be talking about today. I just want to acknowledge Sally Pewhairangi who is the project manager and is in the audience. Sally could you give a wave or stand up. People may want to have a chat about the project later – Sally is the person to talk to.
But before I get into that a bit about AUT and Library and Learning Support Services. <next>
AUT is a young university we just turned 17 on 1st of January! We were NZ’s first polytechnic to become a university. We are a university of technology like QUT, Curtin, UTS, UniSA, RMIT. We share similar ethos: focus on innovation, doing things differently, agility, community engagement, research for the good of the communities we are part of etc…
We are also the 12th most international university in the world and we are doing okay in the other world rankings. Our strengths are art and design.
We are a 5 star university. Considering our youth we are pretty pleased.
I like to think of us as being – young, fresh ( n new) like the 2001 song by KELIS
However in the hypercompetitive education market we are always striving to do better.
We have a strong focus on the pacifika and Māori communities. And supporting these students to succeed at AUT is part of our strategy. <next>
I have been at AUT 12 months. Before that I spent 20 plus years working in Melbourne tertiary libraries. My last Aussie gig was as University Librarian at Swinburne. I am a big fan of pop culture and 2016, was a hard one for me. Not only did I move countries, leaving my family and partner in Melbourne but some of my favourites artists and performers left earth.
Bowie was one of them. He said… make the best of every moment. We not evolving. We are not going anywhere. It pretty much sums up my approach to the volitility in the higher education sector. At AUT Library we look for opportunites. If we get a no – we do slealth projects. Our makespace was like that. Money was given to us from another department.
It is challenging but it is also exciting. We had a great first year together... AUT and I <next>
2016 my first year at AUT and we kicked (ass/goals). As you can see from the highlights here some really significant things happened for us. But what I want to focus on today is the piece around compliance and learning.
TALIS implementation was one of the major projects and as you can see our first stage was successful. This involved implementing the TALIS platform and working with a pilot group of <how many academics - 65> to work out the kinks and set up workflows. We selected TALIS along with a number of other universities in NZ because it would give us a simple interface for academics to create reading lists and it copyright compliance/reporting capabilities. <next>
All the Universities in NZ (Universities New Zealand) have an agreement called the University Pilot Licence Agreement 2015-2016 with Copyright Licensing Ltd (CLL)
Sets out the annual fees and the conditions under which extracts from published copyright material in hard copy format can be copied or digitised and made available to students.
In addition to previous requirements, universities must use an e-reporting system
to collect and report on all copying done under the licence and provide CLL with electronic lists of ALL materials copied
(from print originals (print to print and/or print to digital) for all classes.
Retrospective (new and currently in use)
What we are doing is building a compliance ecosystem on a TALIS platform. 2016/Stage 1 was about software implementation, developing training materials and work flows - essentially testing a prototype and socialising the new course resources platform. That has gone really well.
Here is some of our pilot group talking about the experience <next>
Let’s here from some of those happy academics.
PAUSE
Yet the project did hit a snag which required a rethink to our approach for stage 2 and a major change request was approved by the steering committee and DVC.
We thought that we were setting ourselves up for failure if we didn’t take the compliance and reporting piece much more robustly!
Stage 2 is the interesting and most challenging part of this project….integrating copyright compliance into teaching and learning!
Sally and the steering committee has wrestled with what success will look like for us in this part of the project which is really about transformation of culture. <next>

Challenges and opportunities as we head into 2017:
Dependencies – can’t do it without all stakeholders committing to making this work
Resources – not enough
Sustainability – worried about how to keep momentum going and BAU
Sponsor – new DVC unknown quantity
Placeholder for talking about challenges with copyright compliance
Big $
Non compliance is suspected and noone wants to publicly confirm extend of non-compliance
100% compliance is ahhhh impossible
System fatigue
Enabling vs surveillance
Doing it right requires excellent systems and people
For me our approach is encapsulated by two Māori concepts –
manaakitanga which “care for a person’s mana” (well-being, in a holistic sense). how people are looked after.
Aroha - respect, concern, hospitality, and the process of giving.
We are giving training, support along with providing a system to enable use of copyrighted material that will also meets our compliance requirements.
We know that this will initially require a lot of giving on our part in the hope that the aroha will be returned by a community of practice that uses Course Resources effectively. Aroha is about sharing and strengthening the community.
WE are looking at a cultural transformation… new ways of working and thinking for many.
We did find non-compliance during stagfe 1 of our which was not entirely unexpected and we’ve spend a bit of time working out why. Let’s just say the status is: it’s complicated.
However our solution covers the spectrum – lack of training to mindful breaches.
What we are hoping for is that our academic better understand their responsibility as digital citizens which is particularly relevant to a university context where we are imparting knowledge and preparing our students for future work in a digital society.
A digital citizen:
is a confident and capable user of ICT
uses technologies to participate in educational, cultural, and economic activities
uses and develops critical thinking skills in cyberspace
is literate in the language, symbols, and texts of digital technologies
is aware of ICT challenges and can manage them effectively
uses ICT to relate to others in positive, meaningful ways
demonstrates honesty and integrity and ethical behaviour in their use of ICT
respects the concepts of privacy and freedom of speech in a digital world
contributes and actively promotes the values of digital citizenship
Refer you to Sally Pewhairangi’s blog Finding Heroes – She has written a lot about Digital Literacy. Increasing digital citizenship is part of the curriculum in our schools globally however the context that we are working in with academics and professional staff some of who are not very digitally literate and often don’t understand their obligations as a good digital citizen of copyright compliance in our context.
Understanding copyright and fair use are core skills for 21st century living in higher education.
Fostering a community of practice
Good practice – copyright resources office to develop training materials
Support – business transition officers to work with faculty
Audit of all level 5 (first year courses)
Support from existing team members who look after course resources and collections and liaison. Requires significant people resources to help change culture.
Place holder for where we are now….
App
Online resources
Relationship building
New team...
We will be changing some legacy thinking and making a huge cultural shift.
