On-line teaching and Copyright : Any Hopes for an EU Harmonized Playground?

Education never fails to be mentioned ¿ and, often, mentioned first ¿ as a public interest that justifies an exception to copyright. Educational purposes were already present in the first version of the Berne Convention of 18862 and have remained there (although in revised language) ever since. The WIPO Copyright Treaty of 19963 expressly referred to education in its Preamble, when ¿Recognizing the need to maintain a balance between the rights of authors andthe larger public interest, particularly education, research and access to information, as reflected in the Berne Convention¿ (emphasis added). And morerecently, the EU Directive on Copyright in the Information Society4 stressed its goal ¿to promote learning and culture by protecting works and other subjectmatter while permitting exceptions or limitations in the public interest for the purpose of education and teaching¿ (Recital 14, emphasis added).

Obrim la biblioteca : fem bibliopati !

Aquest treball pretén analitzar la importància de la lectura a l’escola tot posant èmfasi en el fet de llegir per plaer. Partint d’una base teòrica que ho fonamenti s’ha realitzat i analitzat una experiència innovadora: un bibliopati. Durant quatre sessions la biblioteca ha tret una part dels seus materials a fora el pati, de manera que han sigut els llibres qui han anat a buscar els alumnes i no al revés. Aquesta activitat, totalment voluntària, pretenia fomentar l’hàbit lector i donar a conèixer el potencial que té la biblioteca escolar.
