New Era for Copyright in Kyrgyzstan: Secondary School Children and People with Print Disabilities Benefit from the New Copyright Law

[Electronic Information for Libraries] In March 2017, the law on copyright and related rights of the Kyrgyz Republic was amended to include important changes for the benefit of libraries, educational institutions and persons with print disabilities. There are also new provisions safeguarding access to works created through public funds. EIFL warmly welcomes the changes that, taken together, herald a new law that is people-centred, pragmatic and puts education and development at the centre of copyright law and policy.
