  1. The DLI Licence and You:Some practical scenarios Mike Sivyer Wendy Watkins DLI Unit Carleton University Queen’s University, Kingston April 7, 2004

  2. Objective • To review scenarios and determine acceptable use under the licence • To discuss decision-making processes and attempt to clarify tricky situations

  3. “New” Licence Agreement • Signed for the life of the programme • Must give one-year’s notice to withdraw • Penalties for quitting: • Destruction of data • 5-years must lapse before rejoining • Must pay for years missed • Users publishing textbooks must obtain a separate licence

  4. Decoding the Licence: A Decision Tree

  5. Scenario #1 • An American professor, specializing in Canadian studies is visiting your university for a year. One of the reasons for the visit is the accessibility of Canadian data—something he cannot afford at his home university.

  6. Scenario #1 (con’t) • He is working with a colleague back home and would like the data sent to her so that they can conduct the research jointly. There is no question of commercial use here, as the visiting prof has a SSHRC grant in which his colleague is a co-investigator.

  7. Questions arising from Scenario #1 • What are the key issues? • Is there any part of this scenario that would violate the licence? • If so, how might that be resolved?

  8. Group Work • Each group will be given a scenario which requires careful thought before resolution. They are all ‘real life’ examples. • You will be asked to look at the scenario and determine whether or not it fits under the licence, in part or in whole.

  9. Group Work (con’t) • You will be asked to explain your decision using the key points of the licence. • If the situation does not meet the requirements of the licence, how would you advise the user to proceed?
