Rationale:
• Research competence increasingly viewed as a critical outcome
for undergraduate students
• Undergraduates require specific guidance on academic integrity,
data management & Internet-based research methods.
• Online and blended learning support collaboration, creativity
• Self-paced interactive e-tutorials offer complementary approach
to digital research skill development
• OERs/RLOs (Open educational resources/reusable learning
objects) enables content and expertise sharing between
educators
• Flexible mixed-mode learning empowers students to transition
from content consumers to content producers and digital leaders
(McGuiness Fulton & Pope, 2021)
Cont’d
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
• E-tutorial were embedded in VLE for selected undergraduate and
postgraduate courses, in which digital literacy formed the core
learning content
• All e-tutorials were graded for module credit, and each addressed
a key aspect of digital research, increasing in difficulty
eTutorials
• Manging your research with Web-based Tools
• Understanding Digital Research Ethics
• The Academic Web
• Foundational Social Media Analytics for Research
• Digital Tools for Managing Research Data
• Data Visualisation for Novice Researchers

Electronic Resources (E-Resources)
“…materials that require computer
success, whether through a personal
computer, mainframe, or handheld
mobile device…they may either be
accessed remotely via internet or locally.”
(Johnson et al., 2012)
"Material (data and/or program(s)) encoded for
manipulation by a computerized device. This material
may require the use of a peripheral directly connected
to a computerized device (e.g., CD-ROM drive) or a
connection to a computer network (e.g., the Internet)."
This definition does not include electronic resources
that do not require the use of a computer, for example,
music compact discs and videodiscs.”

Copyright and Licensing
“In the area of intellectual property rights, there
are specific legal constraints in relation to sound
and moving images. Quite apart from authors' or
composers' copyright there are producers' rights
and performers' rights, which relate specifically to
audiovisual media, and the library community has a
particular interest in rental rights. The legal
position must be clearly established for every item
in the collection.”
(IFLA, 2004)
License
“A legal agreement between parties
authorizing the use of and defining the
business terms for an item provided by one
party and utilized by the other, which can
include the cost, period of access and other
issues”

The Hague Declaration
“Big Data can reshape the world and save lives…But first,
Intellectual property law must change and access to technology
must be improved, making facts, data and ideas equally accessible
for everyone.”
The Declaration endorses:
➢ Intellectual property for the promotion of research activity
➢ Freedom to analyze and pursue intellectual curiosity without fear
of monitoring or repercussions
➢ Licenses and contract terms: not restrict fact, data and idea
usage
➢ No restriction from Intellectual Property Law on innovation and
commercial research based on facts, data and ideas

➢ No restriction from Intellectual Property Law on

“A license should include provision for affordable,
perpetual access to the licensed information by some
appropriate and workable means.”
“A license should address provisions for long-term
access and archiving of the electronic information
resource(s) under consideration and should identify
and identify responsibilities for these.”
(IFLA, 2016)
“When permanent use of a resource has been licensed,
licensor should provide a usable archival copy of the
licensed content, including any necessary interface. The
license should specify the conditions under which the
licensee may access or refer users to the archival copy
……When subscription-based or renewable use of a
resource has been licensed, a license agreement should
specify what, if any, access to the licensed materials
would continue to be available after subscription period
lapses”.
(AALL, 2016)
“A planned accumulation of selected artefacts. The term is used
in museums as well as in libraries. In the latter it includes not only
books and other printed matter, but also all information
materials. A collection might consist of the whole 80 CODEN
contents of the institution, and is used in this sense in such
phrases as collection management or collection development. It
can also, however, refer to a designated part of the whole,
sometimes known generically as special collections, or to a
particular group of materials on a specific subject or accumulated
by or about a named individual. More broadly, it can also be
taken to include all the information resources to which a library
has access, including those available through physical and virtual
networks.”

border: Why we need an international treaty for cross-border access to
knowledge”
