AUCC has reached an agreement with Access Copyright on a new model licence

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) has reached an agreement with Access Copyright on a new model licence. AUCC has provided a press release and the model license to its member institutions, including UBC. Each institution must now assess the model licence and make its own determination as to whether it would be preferable to enter into an agreement with Access Copyright on the basis of the model license or to continue to operate outside of the proposed tariff.

UBC is currently reviewing the model licence and associated documentation.
