I'm a current UCalgary student, myself. As far as I am aware, the most major impact of this decision will be the abolition of the "nickel copiers", which allow for the copying of a certain percentage (10%, I think?) of any copyrighted work if you are a UCalgary student. I am uncertain of how the restrictions applied to professors & faculty. I personally doubt that this will have much of an impact on my own career at University. I am not enrolled in a program that makes heavy use of such copyrighted materials, and thus far my use of said copyrighted material has been limited. I think Access Copyright had it coming. For a very, very long time.
