Hi All,

Thanks for your email.  I have been communicating with SANLIC and USAF on these issues with DALRO.  I am hoping that USAF will send a letter to DALRO soon.  They have been in discussions with PASA as well,  so we hope that some better assistance will come out of these discussions.

I will keep you posted.

Regards
Denise

Thanks Wynand this message has been sent to various higher education library forums including our VC however there were questionable issues on the offer as DALRO despite all is expecting libraries to apply for copyright clearance using a transactional an element that contradicts free access. We are approaching either Sanlic or CHELSA to investigate this matter. Thanks Pateka

Dear All,

This DALRO letter seems to be misleading. It creates an impression that DALRO & PASA are making an offer to libraries to upload the content to trusted LMS for free for a limited period to assist with learning off-campus. In actual fact, when you apply to do precisely that, you are then given a quotation. Why the double-dipping? Since we have already paid for the resources, and some institution has already paid to the reproduction of course packs, and now we are expected to pay when we want to upload the same content that we have paid for in our LMS.

Maybe its time that we put pressure on the President to sign the Copyright Amendment Act. This is getting out of control with these companies taking advantage of the situation.

I think this is just plain exploitation of public institution during this difficult time, and maybe we also need to report this to the relevant government department
