The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) has been in ongoing negotiations with Access Copyright to come to an arrangement that would meet the needs of its member universities and colleges. On January 30, 2012, the University of Toronto and Western University announced that they had entered into licence agreements with Access Copyright. AUCC is studying these new agreements to determine whether they contain elements that could be used to help AUCC and Access Copyright reach an arrangement. UBC continues to support AUCC in its ongoing efforts. Should AUCC and Access Copyright reach agreement, UBC, like many others across the country, would review that outcome to determine whether it meets UBC’s specific interests.
