University of Limpopo's Copyright Benchmarking Visit

On Monday, 02 December 2024, the Department of Library Services at the University of Pretoria will host a delegation from the Library and Information Services Department of the University of Limpopo. The delegation included Dr. Marion Williams-Southon (Director), Ms. Morongoa Ramaphoko (Copyright Officer), Ms. Lorna Modiba (Assistant Copyright Officer), and Ms. NW Maraka (Senior Librarian: Technical Services). The primary purpose of the visit was to benchmark the copyright processes, functions, reporting mechanisms, and marketing strategies implemented at the University of Pretoria against those at the University of Limpopo. This visit aimed to identify areas for improvement in the University of Limpopo’s service delivery and to ensure compliance with the guidelines set by DALRO (Dramatic, Artistic, and Literary Rights Organisation) across all departments, including online services. The team also enjoyed the tour of the UP Library and the Makerspace.
