Abstract:
New Zealand Universities have recently agreed to introduce mandatory e-reporting to replace the manual survey and ensure compliance with the terms of the licence agreed with Copyright Licensing New Zealand. This paper argues that digital technology has the potential to effectively manage copyright compliance in educational institutions and to counter its uncertainty . The paper considers the background that led to the decision to implement e-reporting, and how that implementation is proceeding. It also considers the benefits to the parties, what the roadblocks are and how these can potentially be overcome.
