[MCN-L] [IP SIG] Orphan Works database
___ From: Small, Jennifer [mailto:jennifersmall at dwt.com] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 9:40 AM To: Misunas, Marla Subject: Fyi... New Copyright Database for Orphan Works Stanford has unveiled a new searchable database that logs the status of so-called orphan works published in the United States between 1923 and 1963. http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/media_law_prof_blog/2007/04/new_copyrig ht_d.html Database accessible at http://collections.stanford.edu/copyrightrenewals/bin/page?forward=home This is great. Indeed great, for libraries and others needing information on books published in the US between 1923 and 1963 whose copyright was renewed. (It's not really an Orphan Works database, rather a copyright renewal database.) Alas, for museums needing information on works of art, we are as usual left scratching our heads. Stanford is nevertheless to be praised for this great initiative. Perhaps we could collectively encourage Stanford to enlarge the scope of the project.
