KR21 Pulse Survey: Experiences of New Copyright Provisions

Welcome

In both the EU and the UK there are a number of important policy developments taking place at the moment.

The European Commission has launched work focused on reviewing the effectiveness of the 2019 Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. The Directive came with the promise of supporting library activities, notably around research and preservation. 

In the field of AI, the UK government after 2 years of consulting on copyright and AI, said it needs to consult further on the matter.

This survey is intended, through a series of brief questions, to gather relevant information to support Knowledge Rights 21's inputs here. 

We would also be grateful if you could help us create some case studies. 
2. From what perspective are you answering?
3. Do you consider your institution to be:
4. In which areas do you want to answer questions? Choose as many as you want
The first set of questions focus on your experience around research involving text-and-data mining/machine learning. The EU Directive and s.29 in the UK  introduce possibilities to carry out text-and-data mining/machine learning in libraries and research institutions. If you or your library do not support research activities, please feel free to skip this section.

This question is both for respondents from EU countries and the UK.
5.  How confident are you around giving access to your collections under exceptions to copyright law for machine learning and text and data mining by researchers?
5. Can we contact you to ask for further information if required? Your details will only be used for this purpose
The next question addresses your experience with Inter-Library Resource Sharing. This question is specifically for respondents from EU countries.
5. Given that each country has different laws and some countries require remuneration for research copies, how confident are you about the legality of carrying out interlibrary loan or document supply to libraries in other EU countries?
The next questions focus on preservation. This question is both for respondents from EU countries and the UK.

The DSM Directive includes a mandatory exception enabling preservation of analogue and digital materials in permanent collections, using whatever tools are relevant. (If you or your library does not engage in preservation work, please feel free to leave this section blank).
5. Since 2019, what has been the trend in preservation activities in your institution?
5. What share of your digital collections belong to your permanent collections (i.e. that you either own fully, or hold on long-term loan or in trust, do you fully own, as opposed to licensing on a temporary basis)?
5. How confident are you in your ability to access licensed content into the long term, given challenges around preserving licensed content?
The final questions relate to your experience of contract terms that undermine statutory rights. This question is both for respondents from EU countries and the UK.
5. If you come across a contract term that prevents you or your affiliated researchers from carrying out text-and-data mining (TDM) or preservation (in line with the Directive), are you generally most likely to:
