As opposed to just being custodians of physical materials, librarian Ms Janegrace Kinyanjiu walks us through the digitisation of the library resource. She does, however, point out that upholding #ip rights, such as copyright, is difficult with e-resources.

IP system is no free lunch, only when a work meets certain established criteria will it qualify for IP protection. A song, or a movie, for example, only qualifies for copyright protection if it is original.

Mr Jonathan Band discusses whether licencing supports or hinders #R2R. He posits that 'Kenya should adopt a general clause that overrides contracts that attempt to limit exceptions just as is done in the UK, Nigeria, Singapore and SA'.

Ms Chebet Koros talks about the #R2R and Kenya's copyright laws. She maintains that even in this digital age, instructors should integrate instruction on how to navigate the workplace in a digital era into their curricula.

Happy to have @dickkawooya join us on #WorldIPDay. He notes that women’s contribution to innovation is not always acknowledged yet they play a key role. Ergo, there is a need for flexibility in the international copyright legal space to facilitate and rightly hail women's input.
