Both publishers (represented by Stichting UvO) and universities want less control on the use of copyrighted materials. They want help with compliance with legislation and contracts in advance. The VSNU (Dutch Association of Universities) has therefore asked SURF to work on a solution. The VU is participating in the development of a tool that will advise lecturers in the digital learning environment (Canvas) about the use/reuse of copyright-protected educational resources, licences, and open-access alternatives.
