CULC/CBUC partnered with Ontario’s Federation of Ontario Public Libraries on a legal opinion on the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and the implications for public libraries. The Executive decided to pursue this after a number of conflicting opinions had been received from various sources including City Solicitors. There are a number of recommendations made in the Legal Opinion. A proposed Library Policy is being worked on as an extension.
The document will be sent to all CULC/CBUC Members on August 26. It will be embargoed as a CULC/CBUC Member Benefit for 90 days. Same applies for FOPL Members. The document is just over 50 pages. There are a number of recommendations for libraries to pursue in the document.
