1. Role of Libraries

It goes without saying that libraries have an important role in both developed and developing countries. Intellectual capability of a society has been growing on account of their services in accumulating information or knowledge and disseminating it to the members of the public. With the advance of the information society, information or knowledge has become of critical importance and their functions have been constantly changing.

Libraries are involved in accumulating and distributing information on a large scale. In this process librarians are likely to become a victim of copyright infringement. Most countries have difficulty in finding a solution to strike a balance between copyright protection and the right of access to information. Copyright laws provide, in accordance with the constitution, for limitations of and exceptions to exclusive rights granted to copyright owners considering the role of educational institutions and libraries.

1) The views expressed herein are authors own and do not reflect the position of the government of the Republic of Korea or the Commission to which the author belongs.

- 128 -

Article 28 deals with reproduction and transmission by libraries for the purpose mentioned in each Paragraph. The amendment of 2003 changed Article 28 the content of which will be dealt with in detail as below.

2. Background of the Amendment of 2003

The exceptions to the exclusive rights allowed in the Copyright Act have close relations with the public functions of libraries. The scope of exceptions is determined to the extent necessary according to the law. Social consensus plays a critical role in introducing relevant rules, since legitimate interests of the parties concerned are involved. Article 28 was amended once in 2000 to meet, above all, some voices from the library circle. But it had been denounced severely by scholars and lawyers; they claimed that it lacked the constitutional base and was incompatible with international rules. It had been regarded that it did not consider properly the impacts of the digital technology but the short-term benefits of the general public only. The 2003 amendment reduces the exceptions and strikes a balance between the needs of libraries and those of users bearing in mind the purposes of the amendment of 2000.

3. Reproduction for Research and Study, etc.

Article 28 is unusually long and complicated compared to other provisions in the Act. It is due to the fact that during the legislation process the original draft has been modified with some elements are deleted and some added. The old provision allowed the libraries without authorization by the copyright holder to reproduce in any form, whether analog or digital, in accordance with Paragraph 1 Subparagraphs 1 to 3. Subparagraph 1 refers to the research and study purpose, Subparagraph 2 the archival purpose and Subparagraph 3 the inter-library loan purpose. This loose rule is tightened by the amendment of 2003; no digital reproduction is allowed with the exception of Subparagraph 2. As digital technology has enormous negative effects on right holders interests, digital copies are allowed in special circumstances under the new

- 129 -

rule. This rule is based on the conception that digital copies can be obtained with the same quality as the original within a mouse-click time and their dissemination may not be hurdled by any artificial boundaries.

Additional requirements are to be met for the libraries to be exempted from liability for copyright infringement. In the case of reproduction of digital books, that is analog reproduction including printouts, according to Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1, compensation is to be paid to the right holder. Subparagraph 2 prohibits digital reproduction for the archival purpose when digital books are published for sale in the market. Any change of file format may not be permitted.

4. Reproduction for Transmission or Subsequent Transmission

1) Transmission within the Libraries.

Libraries would not meet the demands of the general public if they were content with traditional services. They are required to provide services to keep pace with the digital environment. In this regard, it is reasonable to reproduce and then transmit books and research materials on the premises. Paragraph 2 as amended is part of that government policy.

Under the Copyright Act of 1986, digitization itself was not allowed. The amendment of 2000 was made in order, first, to permit digitization and, second, to permit transmission by libraries. A library might transmit a book to any library with few legal qualifications when it digitized it. It was not just an imaginary scenario: one copy of books might suffice to build digital libraries around the country. In the new amendment of 2003 there is a clear distinction between transmission on the premises and transmission outside the premises each of which is stipulated in Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 respectively. New Paragraph 2 is concerned with the reproduction for transmission or subsequent transmission within the libraries.

Strict conditions are added in the new provision. First, reproduction is permitted, only when it is used for clients to read the books in such libraries. Other facilities outside the premises may not have recourse to the provision for exception. Second, books held by the libraries are the object of reproduction or transmission. The old provision simply referred to books. Books held by the libraries are, as discussed later, meant to be books owned by or licensed

- 130 -

to the libraries. Libraries may provide copy services to their clients without additional copies for any other purposes. There is no reason for the libraries to preserve them. Third, the exceptions to the exclusive right are further limited: the number of users who may peruse them at the same time shall not exceed the number of copies of such books, etc. held by the libraries, etc. or authorized to be used by the persons with copyrights or other rights protected under this Act. When a library has a contract with the licensor, it has to follow the conditions on concurrent users under the terms and conditions of the contract. Fourth, digital reproduction may not be made in case where books are published for sale.

2) Transmission outside the Libraries

Paragraph 3 deals with reproduction for transmission or subsequent transmission outside the libraries. Paragraph 2 of the old Act had in mind transmission within and outside the libraries altogether. This had had serious consequences. Reproduction for transmission or subsequent transmission outside the libraries was allowed for any purposes and for any libraries; the exceptions to the exclusive rights had gone too far to keep in line with the basic principle of copyright protection. The Enforcement Decree, however, confined these privileges to national and some public libraries with the number of around 50. This measure had been attacked severely by the public, as mentioned earlier. Criticism had continued for other reasons too. First, it discriminated between national or public libraries and private ones, in particular private university libraries. Second, it had been pointed out that the Enforcement Decree had no delegation from the higher Act.

The new provision narrows these exceptions in special circumstances. First, reproduction for transmission may be made from the library collection (books held by the libraries) only. No digital copies provided or transmitted by other libraries may be used for transmission to third-party libraries. Second, books published for sale are subject to reproduction for transmission after the lapse of 5 years of publication. The time span of 5 years, though arbitrary, is regarded as that of normal exploitation. Third, as in Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 2 and Paragraph 2, digital reproduction may not be made if books are published and sold in digital format.

- 131 -

3) The Concept of Books Held by the Libraries

Books held by the libraries, as referred to above, should be interpreted to mean books owned by or licensed to the libraries. It is open to different interpretations depending on the method of interpretation. Paragraph 1 states that when it allows reproduction of books held by the libraries according to the purpose of each Subparagraph, it may reproduce books including the books transmitted to the libraries, etc. in accordance with the provision of Paragraph 3 in the case of Subparagraph 1.

It is possible to interpret the text in the following two ways. First, books transmitted by other libraries should not be regarded as the same as from those held by the libraries. It is clear in its context that books held by the libraries are those owned by the libraries. Books transmitted by other libraries are to be provided to library users only. There is no need for the libraries to hold them for other users or for other purposes. The concept of books held by the libraries is, if extended, confined to the case of the research and study purpose under Subparagraph 1 only. Thus books held by the libraries do not include those transmitted by other libraries.

Second, though Article 28 seems to distinguish between books held by the libraries and books transmitted by other libraries, it should not be interpreted in a strict manner. Paragraph 1 extends the concept of books held by the libraries. The fact that a library can provide books transmitted by other libraries to library users is based on the assumption it has digital reproduction, even in the form of temporary storage. It is reasonable to see that the concept of books held by the libraries should be extended to cover books transmitted by other libraries.

These two schools of thought lie in the different point of views but may not lead to different enforcement practices. We may make following conclusions considering Paragraphs 1, 3 and 5 altogether: 1) books held by the libraries are meant to be books owned by or licensed to the libraries concerned. The libraries may provide analog copies to library users from the books owned by them and those transmitted by other libraries for the purpose of research and study under Subparagraph 1; 2) Digital reproduction is permitted for transmission outside the libraries under the condition that the books concerned have been published for 5 years and compensation payment is made under Paragraphs 3 and 5. This means that a library receiving digital reproduction may not digitize books but store them in the server,

- 132 -

whether temporary or permanent, for the sole purpose of providing analog copies to their clients for research and study.

5. Obligation to Pay Compensation

The Article 28 distinguishes between analog and digital reproduction. While analog copies are furnished to library users under Paragraph 1 in most cases, users of other libraries may be provided with them as well. In any cases libraries must pay compensation for copy services to their clients from books in digital format under Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 and from books transmitted by other libraries under Paragraph 3. Since Paragraph 3 deals with the libraries transmitting books, other libraries receiving them may, in principle, have their clients read them. But Paragraph 1 allows receiving libraries to make their clients be provided with analog copies on condition that compensation is paid to the right holder.

Digital reproduction is permitted for the archival purpose under Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 2 and for the purposes of transmitting within the libraries or outside the libraries under Paragraphs 2 and 3 respectively. It is prohibited when digital books are published for sale according to Paragraph 4. Unlike Paragraphs 2 and 3, Paragraph 4 refers to reproduction only. Paragraphs 2 and 3 say Libraries, etc. may reproduce or transmit their books , while Paragraph 4 states that libraries, etc. shall not reproduce such books. The expression or in Paragraphs 2 and 3 gives the libraries the authority to transmit books once reproduced according to Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 4. It remains unclear in cases where a library keeps digital reproductions made already in their collection even if digital books are published later. It appears that new digitization is prohibited, since it is stated that libraries ... shall not reproduce such books, etc. in digital format if they are being sold in digital format. It would be right to interpret the provision in such a way that the libraries should substitute digital books published for sale for existing digital reproductions. Compensation must be paid for transmission outside the premises.

- 133 -

6. Other Requirements for Library Exceptions

Bearing in mind Paragraphs 1 to 3 give a lot of privileges to the libraries than other entities using a large quantity of copyrighted materials, Article 28 requires the libraries an additional obligation to take necessary measures for the copyright protection in accordance with the Enforcement Decree. First, the libraries must take technological measures for the prevention of illegal uses as follows: 1) transmitting libraries and receiving libraries must install copy protection devices so that library clients may not use books but read or reproduce them to the extent that allowed under library exemptions rule; 2) they have to take encryption measures in order that users other than library clients may not read or otherwise use the books; 3) they must develop special programs to identify or track any use or modification of the books by the library users not permitted by the law; 4) they have to install devices to prohibit any use of books published for sale. Second, libraries must provide training programs to the librarians for the prevention of copyright infringement. Third, warning marks must be posted on the computers so that library users do not commit an act of copyright infringement.

Library exemptions clause may not only apply to copyrighted works but also performances, phonograms and broadcasts as protected by the Copyright Act. It is because the limitations of and exceptions to the exclusive rights of authors are applied mutatis mutandis to those of performers, phonogram producers and broadcasting organizations, as the case may be.

Introduction of East-Asian Library, University of Leuven

Adrianus Marinus Van der WerfEast-Asian Library, University of Leuven

1. KU Leuven history

The University of Leuven, or KU Leuven, founded in is one of the oldest universities in Europe. With 40.000 students enrolled, it is the largest university in Belgium today. The university is a modern, full-fledged university with faculties for all sciences. This was not always so. For centuries, the focus had been on Catholic theology and the training of missionaries. The first language and regional studies, therefore, were aimed at a further clarification of Christian theology and not so much at understanding other languages and cultures. Later of course this has changed.

2. East-Asian studies overview

Within the Faculty of Arts, East-Asia first came up focusing on China in the th century. This was largely in relation to missionary activities. Towards the beginning of the th century more academic attention was given to the region. This again focused on China due to Belgiums concession in Tianjin but Japan Mongolia and Korea also came into focus. The occupation of

- 392 -

Korea by Japan and the turmoil in the Chinese Republic during this period drew attention away to Japan and China, the two most important players in the East-Asian region at that time.

In the 1960s Sinology proper was started. This was followed by Japanese Studies in the 1980s. A one-year course in Korean language was also introduced within the course of Japanese studies. And, noteworthy, the first PhD in Japanese studies was for a dissertation in 1994 about the Korean political activist Yun Chi-ho ().

3. East-Asian library introduction

East-Asian studies is placed in the Faculty of Arts of the university, and as a result, philology has been the focus. The library, therefore, traditionally has played an important role in facilitating East-Asian studies. For Sinology this was done with the works collected by missionaries in China that were donated or allocated at the university library, and for Japanology initially through a donation of 3000 books from Japan after the university library had burned down during World War I. In this way, even when interest in China or Japan was low among scholars, at least a basic collection was present.

For Korean studies there was no such library collection. Even when scholars or students would be interested in Korea they could not be supported by the library. Outline presentation A.M. van der Werf KU Leuven

4. Significance of the Korean collection in relation to the development of Korean studies

From the 1980s onwards there have been attempts to enlarge the curriculum for Korean studies by either creating additional courses in Korean Studies, or enlarging the Korean collection of the university library. But no course in Korean studies meant no budget for a Korean library collection, and no library collection meant no room for Korean studies.

This situation went on well into the 2000s. Despite the growing number of students

- 393 -

showing an interest in pursuing Korean studies, the library collection grew only moderately mainly through exchange and donations. Lack of knowledge of the Korean language by any library staff did not help this situation.

When in 2009 we were approached by the Korean Embassy to become a Window on Korea within the program of the National Library of Korea we wholeheartedly embraced this. We were most pleased to learn that we could select from an extensive list and request titles ourselves. Now we own a collection of over 5000 titles, mainly focusing on modern Korean history, literature, culture, society, economics and international politics, but we also try to facilitate in Korean philosophy and traditional society, literature and arts. Additionally all books are entered in the central catalogue in the vernacular.

Where in the past only sporadically people would come into the library to obtain information about Korea, nowadays Korea-related request come in on a regular basis. Not only from students from the Faculty of arts, but also form Sociology, Economics, Political sciences and so on. Even journalists and politicians now find their way to our library, not to mention the Korean community that lives in Belgium.

This only goes to illustrate that, yes, demand creates supply, but supply can also create demand through appreciation and curiosity.

Introduction of Korean Collection

Ramon Arnada QuintanaUniversity of Mlaga

Hello, my name is Ramn Aranda and I work as a Library Attendant at the Library of the Social Studies and Commerce Faculty, at the University of Mlaga, in Spain.

Until the summer of 2010, our library held a collection involving the topics of the studies taught up until then: Labour Science, Social Work and Commerce. However, in that summer we were informed of a new degree that would start in our Faculty the next course: Studies of East Asia, launched jointly by Mlaga and Sevilla Universities, being Sevilla focused on China and Japan and our university focused on Korea. We were also given the Window on Korea, a donation by The National Library of Korea involving more than 2000 Korea-related books, CDs and DVDs. I truly want to thank their generosity and support. All of a sudden, our library got the largest Korean material collection in Spain. This achievement was mostly due to the successful work done by the Office of the University of Incheon located in Mlaga and leaded by Antonio Domenech, an expert on Korean culture. Likewise, the University of Mlaga has a similar office in Incheon because of a cooperation agreement between both institutions.

First steps werent easy. At that moment none of the staff of the library had got neither experience with Korean books nor any knowledge of Hangul either. All of us at the library were given a quite short teaching about Hangul, but obviously it didnt allowus to be able to translate the new collection. Furthermore, our catalogue couldn't convert the Korean MARC

- 396 -

records and we had to acquire a new software to load the data legibly. Meanwhile, we made transient records so that books were able to be lent, assigning each one a barcode and a little information about title or content. It meant an extra work but at least students could get the books out from the beginning of the course, chiefly those regarding the Korean language learning, the one most demanded. We fortunately got the helpful assistance of a Korean student who worked at the library for a while as a scholarship holder. Her help was outstanding, translating titles and finding out the subject of books. Thus, little by little, all the definitive records would be fixed. I must point out that the number of the students of East Asia during the last two years hasnt reached 200, a little number compared to the total enroled in the Faculty, over 3000. I mean we couldnt dedicate full time with this collection, taking into account that we collect more than 35.000 books apart from the Korean materials as well.

However, the situation was eventually normalized and nowadays we have all the Asia related books on the third floor of the library: close to the Window on Korea collection there are about 300 books bought by the library, and also weve recently received the first donation by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea, containing around 100 Korean literature books translated into Spanish and English.

At this moment, the only Spanish universities offering East Asia studies containing specialized courses in Korea are in Madrid, Barcelona and Mlaga, being ours the one that holds the biggest collection about Korea, as I have pointed out previously. We wish both to spread this significant collection and create a meeting point for cultural exchange between Korea and Spain. With this objective, last February we set up a temporal exhibition of two Korean artists inside the library. Since they were going to exhibit their art works at the Korean Cultural Center in Madrid, we got in touch with them and invited to show their frames simultaniously in Mlaga, where they finally brought 18 of their works that were exposed in the corridors of the three storied Library .This was our first cultural event inside the library and a really marvellous experience that encouraged us to carry on this way. Despite of being unexperienced as cultural promoters and, more significantly, having a lack of economic support for this purpose, given the current economic crisis in Spain, we are determined to carry out more similar events in the future. Thereby, we are planning a new exhibition into the library for the last week of October 2013 and the first week in November. In this case, the artist is a Spanish painter who enjoyed staying in Korea as a student for a year, and made up a

- 397 -

collection of Korean-inspired paintings. It will be our contribution to a couple of important events that will take place these dates: firstly, the Korean Culture Week is going to be celebrated during the last week in October into our Faculty facilities organized by Incheon Office with the help of students of East Asia degree. And secondly, the 8th edition of Tribune Spain-Korea is taking place this year in Mlaga during the earliest days in November. This is an annual meeting between representatives of several areas from both countries in order to enhance bilateral relations.

In short, our aim is not only supply materials for studying and researching all about Korea, but provide a place for mutual understanding between both cultures.

Thank you very much

National Library of Thailand and Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550)

Mrs. Sukarbjai Supanee Head of the Information Resource Development Group

National Library of Thailand

1. Background

Mainly, the National Library is responsible for collecting publications published in Thailand in order to keep those as a national publications and a historical publication of Thailand.

To receive the said publications, the National Library has held the Principles to be in accordance with the Press Act 1941 (B.E. 2484) specified in clause 20 and 32 regarding transferring publications to the National Library, penalty of 12 Baht fine.

Afterward, the National Library has considered that the currency rate has been changed affecting the reduction in the fine and this results the incompliance to deliver the publications to the National Library. The National Library, therefore, has applied the ISBN to the books and ISSN to journals magazines and newspaper, and that the publisher deliver 2 copies to the National Library after every published in order to replace the Press Act 2484 (B.E. 2484)

Later in 2007, the government has terminated the Press Act 1941 (B.E. 2484) being in charge of the Ministry of Interior and approved the Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) according to the principle that to place the criteria of establishment notification as an evidence to indicate the publisher, advertiser, editor or the newspaper owner for the advantage of probation by

Since the National Library of Thailand and Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) has been effective in December 2007 resulting more duties for the National Library. The new duty for the National Library is to register the publishing of newspapers, journals, magazines to publishers who wish to publish their new newspapers, journals, magazines of which their publishing and printing is located in Thailand.

For those newspaper owners whose newspaper office is located within Bangkok and surrounding area, register their publishing at the National Library. For regional locations the registration can be processed at 1-15 Regional Office of Fine Arts of each area. The registration steps are as following.

3. Issue a license to publish the newspaper, journals, magazines.

2.2 The Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) related ISBN and ISSN

The Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550), Category 1 (publication), clause 8 states that in the publication of which is not a kind of newspaper and is published in the Kingdom the following content must be shown :

(1) Name of the publisher and location of the printing.(2) Name and location of the advertisement agency.(3) International Standard Book Number: ISBN of which has been issued by the

National Library. In addition, the said publication includes an electrical recorded publication for sale or for free.

It is clear that this Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) focuses on the importance of the ISBN issued by the National Library and that the publisher, printing should request for the ISBN for their book and publish or show in the book to be in accordance with the regulation of book publishing in Thailand, universal standard so that this could move forward and expand the Thailand publication business globally.

There is no content regarding the delivery of journals, magazines and newspapers from publisher to the National Library therefore, the National Library is requesting assistance from publisher to apply for the ISSN for their publications. This is to specified in the ISSN application that once the journals, magazines and newspapers are published, 3 copies of the said publication shall be sent to the National Library continuously. Due to no content

- 402 -

regarding the delivery of the journals, magazines and newspapers to the National Library, the National Library consequently, considers and sees the importance of this matter. The Board Commission has been appointed for the consideration on any amendment of the ministerial regulations Class according to the Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) in order to propose in the next draft of the Ministry Regulations.

3. The Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) and the Legal Deposit Section

More than 70 years, the National Library has received books and other publications published in the country according to the Press Act 1941 (B.E. 2484) from printing and other authorities 2 copies of each book. One copy is to be kept in a Legal deposit Section in the National Library as a national publishing record and another copy is to be provided for people using the National Library for their research. During that time, the respond from printing according to the Press Act 1941 (B.E. 2484) to send their books to the National Library was not well cooperated due to the fine of 12 Baht was a little amount of money. Besides, the cost of some books are higher than the fine rate, the printing did not see the matter to send the book to the National Library. The National Library usually have to request for the books from each printing, and other publications in order to have them kept in the Legal Deposit Section. Even the National Library has not received all the publications and books supposed to be received, yet the Legal Deposit Section was not sufficient to keep those publications. Therefore, in 2001, the National Library has built a new Legal deposit building at Salaya Sub-district, Nakhon Pathom Province to store more coming publications (books, journals, magazines, newspapers) and to categorize other publication for the easy search.

Later, the publication revolution has been dramatically changed; the books are not only come as a publication, but also in electronic and other forms resulting the amendment of the Press Act 1941 (B.E. 2484) in order to be in accordance with the current situation. In 2007, the Prime Minister declared the New Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) to replace the Press Act of 1941 (B.E. 2484) to be effective since 19 December 2007. The Section relating to the Legal deposit Sections are as following :

- 403 -

Clause 9 the publishers send 2 copies of their press to the National Library within 30 days from the date of propagation.

Since the Press Act is effective, the National Library has received many kinds of publications in complete published and electronics form. Currently, the publications stored collected in the Legal Deposit Section of the National Library are as following:

Books 388,430 itemsJournals, Magazines 442,809 itemsNewspapers 801,230 items

In the present, the e-books, e-journal, e-newspaper which are already applied for ISBN ISSN. These electronic publications have not yet delivery to the National Library the reason that we have planning to develop e-service system to support delivery of electronic publications publishing a fully.

Conclusion

Even though there is no Legal deposit Act and National Library Act, the National Library has the Press Act 2007 (B.E. 2550) stating that any publisher publish their publication in Thailand must send 2 copies to the National Library within 30 days of propagation. However, the Act does not include the deliver of newspapers, journals, magazines to the National Library and this affects the collection in the Legal Deposit Section. Therefore, the National Library has regulated that the publisher and printing must request for ISSN for their newspaper, journal and magazine. After the publishing, 3 copies of each publication shall be sent to the National Library as a replacement of the Press Act. At present, the National Library receives publications from publishers and systematically arranges in the Legal Deposit Section and the search for those title of publications are convenient and quick.
