Abstract

The concept of a digital library has been stimulated by recent advances in computing technology. These developments hold the promise of transforming libraries into interactive centres of learning and research by virtue of inexpensive digital storage, easy-to-use search engines, and powerful computing hardware. However, libraries are handicapped in their move to digital collections by enormous legal problems in securing rights to much of the current literature. Solutions to this dilemma are not on the immediate horizon, but eventually will include changes in the current copyright law and technological arrangements to protect the interests of the owners of intellectual property. Suggests that librarians might find a more valuable role not in getting information to an electronic state, but in being its organizers and facilitators

Abstract: Discusses the publishing of books online on the Internet, in the USA. The issues is treated mainly in relation to trade publishers. Outlines various ways in which such publishers have so far used the Internet, for example in the publishing of the full text of works of fiction, for publishing catalogues, and for presenting authors to the public via bulletin boards or electronic conferences. Notes a number or problems which arise: copyright, payment for accessing items, advertising restrictions, and the ease with which the published unit can be tampered with when available on the Internet. Also discusses collaboration and conflicts between publishers and the technology industry

Abstract: The nature and implications of electrocopying are summarised. After a brief review of the principles of copyright, the issue of whether electrocopying infringes copyright is debated. Publishers are aware of the threat that electrocopying poses to their business. The various options available to publishers for responding to electrocopying are summarised. Patterns of scholarly communications and the relationships between authors, publishers and libraries are being challenged. Constructive dialogue is necessary if the issues are to be resolved

Abstract: Image content opens up exciting possibilities for stand-alone media, distributed networks, online networks, and on-site publishing from information systems for use by the general public, for research, collection management, education and distance learning. These developments coincide and overlap with widespread new questioning and thinking as to the role of museums in relation to their diverse publics and also may have many parallels in the library world. They raise difficult questions about intellectual propriety rights - copyright protection, fair renumeration and complex questions concerning moral rights. Clearly international cooperation, working partnerships and consortia are going to gain further importance and significance

Abstract

The publication of scholarly works in a networked electronic environment presents opportunities for solving problems with printed services. At the same time, copyright developed primarily for printed works, has been used to create stumbling blocks both for faculty authors and their institutions. This has accurred because publishers have required a transfer of copyright as a quid pro quo for publication. New models of copyright ownership and management can be developed for electronic publishing of scholarly works and research uses, and ultimately will reduce costs to universities which currently must repurchase faculty produced works from commercial publishers

Abstract

The US Copyright Office has issued a 111 page report of Congress giving an impartial overview on the question of legal protection for databases. The bulk of the report discusses issues raised by interested parties at meetings during 1997 and it is intended as a starting point for Congress to consider whether there is a need for a new form of statutory protection and, if so, how legislation could avoid negative consequences. Copies of the report are posted on the Internet site at http://www.loc.gov/copyright, under the heading 'What's new'
