AbstractAs the case is elsewhere in the world, Library and Information Science (LIS) education in Africa is largely lagging behind industry developments with reference to the legal and policy framework regulating digital content and technology. Notwithstanding the importance of information ethics, LIS programmes in Africa tend to predominantly focus on ethical issues at the expense of legal issues. For most LIS programmes, the national legal and policy infrastructure regulating digital technology and content is simply missing in the curriculum. Others only have sprinklings of legal knowledge in the curriculum. Digital technology and content is fundamentally changing the way people in Africa access and consume information. The fundamental question is how prepared are librarians for the ever-changing digital rights associated with digital technology and content? In this paper digital rights refer to the application of traditional human rights to digital technology or digital environments. Second, are LIS programmes in Africa preparing professionals that are capable of navigating the difficult terrain of digital rights as well as engaging in legal and policy discourse on digital rights that affect LIS institutions? The paper is the first step in understanding what is taught by LIS programmes in Africa based on the analysis of course titles and descriptions from 11 programmes. Courses reviewed generally touched on some of the legal and technological issues associated with digital content. However, several of the contemporary issues associated with digital content and rights are missing from the courses and curriculum.

This article examines the legal issues arising from digital technology that allows filmmakers to create features starring flawlessly rendered images of deceased celebrities, known as "synthespians." Recent developments in the law of personality rights in California have established that deceased stars' personality rights extend beyond death, permitting heirs to seek damages for wrongful uses. In Canada the tort of misappropriation of personality has been extended after death both at common law and in the privacy acts of some provinces. This article examines instances where courts have ruled against uses, often where there has been commercial exploitation, of the dead actor s persona and concludes with recommendations on strategies to regulate this area of the law.

As technology continues to evolve at an exponentially increasing pace, it transforms our lives and societies, thus shaping our perceptions of reality with high velocity and impacting the relationship between the individual, the society, and the legal system. The young area of law known as IT Law is attempting to explore the effects of new technologies in our relationships with the law, as well as, identify the best use new technologies to reduce the gap between new technology, new societal behaviours and various legal systems. Therefore, this article aims to make a contribution to the debate by introducing and describing the current use cases of wearable technology in Europe, legal issues that have been exacerbated by these emerging technologies. The article concludes that in order to mitigate the risk of erosion of personality rights new technology and innovation must to be integral components of the legal system in the future.

COVID-19 has become a global health crisis, influencing the development of all walks of life. The lockdown implemented to control the spread of the pandemic has led to the development of digital technology. As a country that has gradually recovered from the epidemic, China's circular economy development pattern has undergone some changes. This study indicates three significant digital development trends in the circular economy in the post-pandemic era. They are "New business models" of the digital economy are integrating into a circular economy, the digital governance capability of circular economy gains more traction, and the digitalization of waste sorting exemplifies the transitions accelerated by the pandemic." Despite the strong momentum of China's digital transformation, there are difficulties in determining data ownership and collaboration among stakeholders.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide clinical supervisors with information pertaining to state-of-the-art clinic observation technology. We use a novel video-capture technology, the Landro Play Analyzer, to supervise clinical sessions as well as to train students to improve their clinical skills. We can observe four clinical sessions simultaneously from a central observation center. In addition, speech samples can be analyzed in real-time; saved on a CD, DVD, or flash/jump drive; viewed in slow motion; paused; and analyzed with Microsoft Excel. Procedures for applying the technology for clinical training and supervision will be discussed.
