Having left the EU the U.K. could support research and innovation by introducing an open norm.

Check out this new study on flexible copyright exceptions from @cippm and @KR21org

[KnowledgeRights21 @KR21org]

1/ 📢 Excited to announce the latest KR21 report: Copyright and Open Norms in 7 Jurisdictions: Benefits, Challenges & Policy Recommendations authored by @cippm (@bournemouthuni)

💡 TL;DR: Much to gain & little to lose by adopting #OpenNorms in #copyright!

[Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance @UKLACA]

We’ve found the only theoretical Brexit benefit there is! 🦄

As not part of the 🇪🇺 the U.K. could actually support research, education and innovation by introducing flexible copyright exceptions.

Tomorrow - registration required.

This is extremely serious - @CILIPinfo will be liaising with Education leaders and sector bodies to raise our strongest objections to this abhorrent abuse of power. This is a line that democracies should never cross. https://t.co/JyZf00sbx2

Libraries are the best. 😍

A little story for a wet Friday night. Near my house I found a wallet in the road. When opening it I found a bank card, some cash, a library and a youth club card. And also a front door key. The person who dropped it is 14 and could be locked out so I set out to find him….1/6
