Abstract

Technological developments have changed the concepts of publication, reproduction and distribution. However, legislation, and in particular the Legal Deposit Law has not adjusted to these changes - it is very restrictive in the sense of protecting the rights of authors of electronic publications. National libraries and national archival institutions, being aware of their important role in preserving the written and spoken cultural heritage, try to find different legal ways to live up to these responsibilities. This paper presents some legal aspects of archiving Web pages, examines the harvesting of Web pages, provision of public access to pages, and their long-term preservation.

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'

Abstract

Explores the intellectual property issues that arise in connection with the production and distribution of multimedia products, focusing on recent efforts by a major US art museum to prepare a CD-ROM edition of its collection and catalogue. Issues discussed include: copyright interests and moral rights of artists and others whose works were to be included in the product; respective rights of the museum and the various expert contractors employed in the production process; and the ability of the museum to use copyright, patent and licensing law to protect the finished product against unauthorized exploitation. Concludes that the producer of a multimedia product faces significant legal uncertainty because of the law's limited experience in applying traditional intellectual property doctrines to this novel environment

Abstract

Library managers are often concerned to assess the most cost effective means of access to bibliographic data. Considers comparative prices for bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in print form. In many instances, CD-ROM offers added value and easier access to data, but the relative cost is important. Library managers need not only to compare prices but to consider cost effectiveness. Differences between the nature of bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in a printed bibliography or in abstracting and indexing service, and the relative complexities of pricing structures for bibliographic data in both CD-ROM and printed form, where both hinder comparisons. Varying policies on network pricing are an added complication when assessing CD-ROM service. Concludes that some standardization of aspects of the licensing arrangements would be welcome

Abstract

Explains copyright as it affects electronic databases tressing that there is no copyright in an electronic form of a record in itself, only in a service and its content. Regrets the lack of reaction from right owners to a set of European Association of Scientific Information and Dissemination Centres (EUSIDIC) Guidelines covering information brokers and downloading and discusses the Commission of the European Communities draft directive on the legal protection of databases. Recommends close consultation with rights owners where confusion arises until the formulation of minimum downloading standards

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

Outlines the effects of electronic collections in the public services realm. Points out the need to consider many other factors as well as the content of materials when making selection decisions. These include the resources needed for user training; access and presentation, including cooperation with other libraries; the provision of single or multiple access points and the implications of networking; staff skills in both computer technology and interaction and communication with users; copyright and other legal issues; management data; and other related costs of providing access to electronic resources

Abstract

Describes the introduction of a current awareness service, based on the contents pages of periodicals received by Lund Univ. Library, Sweden, and discusses the use of scanners, electronic mail and facsimile transmission (FAX) techniques. The systen checks in the periodicals, scans the contents pages, stores the information on the system's file server, and sends the information to the users' electronic mail address or facsimile transmission address. Recognition of possible copyright problems led to an agreement with Elsevier Publ. Co. on the basis that the system was a pilot project

Abstract

The United States Supreme Court case of 1991, Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Tel. Service Co., continues to be highly significant for property in data and databases, but remains poorly understood. The approach taken in this article contrasts with previous studies. It focuses upon the not original rather than the original. The delineation of the absence of a modicum of creativity in selection, coordination, and arrangement of data as a component of the not original forms a pivotal point in the Supreme Court decision. The author also aims at elucidation rather than critique, using close textual exegesis of the Supreme Court decision. The results of the exegesis are translated into a more formal logical form to enhance clarity and rigor. The insufficiently creative is initially characterized as so mechanical or routine. Mechanical and routine are understood in their ordinary discourse senses, as a conjunction or as connected by AND, and as the central clause. Subsequent clauses amplify the senses of mechanical and routine without disturbing their conjunction. The delineation of the absence of a modicum of creativity can be correlated with classic conceptions of computability. The insufficiently creative can then be understood as a routine selection, coordination, or arrangement produced by an automatic mechanical procedure or algorithm. An understanding of a modicum of creativity and of copyright law is also indicated. The value of the exegesis and interpretation is identified as its final simplicity, clarity, comprehensiveness, and potential practical utility.
