The Issue
Background and Justification
The research project takes interest in critically analyzing public interests
in the copyright system vis-a-vis access to e-resources in selected
Ugandan universities and research institutions. In addition to access, the
study tackles the question of knowledge representation in relation to
copyright protection to deconstruct the notion of Africa as a knowledge
consumer and not producer. This study is grounded in the intellectual
tradition that advocates for bringing back the public good in the
contemporary copyright discourse.
