Past Intermediaries.

• Institutional users (Educational institutions and libraries)

• Seen by policy makers as representing the interest of "users", just as other intermediaries such as CRIA and collective societies are seen as representing the interests of "creators"

  • Learning is a lifetime process, not something that happens only within the confines of a provincially chartered institution
  • Libraries offer access, search and archives of human knowledge, but these necessary functions are not only offered by libraries
  • Each time an institution gets an "exception", something is taken away from all those not part of the institution!
