Abstract
Intellectual Property training is seen to be the domain of the legal profession. This is entirely appropriate if you believe that the only people who invent or create are scientists in laboratories supported by multinationals who take out patents to protect the developments and commercialise the outputs. This paper explores the options open to Technical and Further Education (TAFE) Libraries in relation to copyright education. Utilising the Information Literacy Guidelines places a TAFE library in a unique position to provide their institution’s copyright training across a wide range of subjects in a balanced compliant manner.

Abstract
As a joint research project between Monash University and a partner organisation, the Victorian Association of TAFE Libraries (VATL), the study reported in this paper investigated challenges which face TAFE libraries. To assess the suitability of the Learning Commons concept, interviews, questionnaire surveys, and a conference dialogue between library managers were used. Important themes emerged and were evaluated. The paper explores significant findings from two surveys which show how TAFE libraries have changed as places and digital spaces.
