On issues of copyright and digitization, I highly recommend the following guides as an introduction:
Hirtle, Peter B., Emily Hudson, and Andrew T. Kenyon. Copyright and cultural institutions: Guidelines for digitization for U.S. libraries, archives, and museums. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Library 2009. http://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/14142 Hirtle, Peter. Copyright term and public domain in the United States as of January 1, 2011. Ithaka, NY: Cornell Copyright Information Center. http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/ These guides focus on U.S. copyright law. They touch on international law, but as it has impact on digitization in libraries in the U.S. A digitization project based elsewhere would require researching the laws of that country and any international agreements it may be party to. --- Shannon Zachary Head, Preservation & Conservation University of Michigan Library _______________________________________________ Arquivos da Bib_virtual: http://listas.ibict.br/pipermail/bib_virtual/ Instruções para desiscrever-se por conta própria: http://listas.ibict.br/cgi-bin/mailman/options/bib_virtual Bib_virtual mailing list [email protected] http://listas.ibict.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bib_virtual
