exceptions to TPMs

as part of the AUSFTA, the National Library has been involved with discussions regarding the use of Technological Protection Measures (TPMs) and how this will affect the memory sector's (Libraries, Archives, Museums and Galleries) ability to carry out their day-to-day functions and processes.

The review of the TPMs report was tabled in Aust. parliament on the 1st March and the committee supported the exceptions for Libraries.

Details (including the report) can now be found at:
