[Open-access] [open-science] Elsevier: some facts, by Tim Gowers

Wouter, Jeroen,

There is a WIPO study on fair use and limitations for educational use,
which gives an overview of the regulation worldwide.

Study on Copyright Limitations and Exceptions for Educational Activities
in North America, Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia and Israel Raquel

For the Netherlands there is a limitation on copyright for educational
use in the Dutch Copyright Act. But the downside is that one of the
conditions is that a fair remuneration is paid. We recently agreed on a
new national deal. Over the coming years the amount decreases, because
we expect that there will be more Open Access material available. There
will be a working group of publishers and university representatives,
with the task -amongst others- to monitor this.

In our Copyright LibGuide we have a list of what is allowed for faculty and students of Utrecht University (unfortunately only in Dutch): http://www.uu.nl/university/library/NL/informatie/auteursrechten/Documents/Auteursrechteninfopunt_uitgevers_UU.pdf
