Submission in response to the Exposure Draft Copyright Amendment (Access Reform) Bill 2021

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) responds to the Exposure Draft Copyright Amendment (Access Reform) Bill 2021, proposed by the Australian Federal Government.

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) welcomes the Government’s proposed modernization of Australian copyright legislation for libraries and archives. The proposed changes will increase the Australian community’s access to our cultural collections, support creators, researchers, students and policy makers in their endeavors, and reduce redundant administrative processes for library staff.
