Copyright and Cultural Institutions: Guidelines for Digitization for U.S. Libraries, Archives, and Museums
I’ve been remiss in not posting about a great new resource for librarians and others working in cultural institutions: Peter Hirtle’s new book, “Copyright and Cultural Institutions: Guidelines for Digitization for U.S. Libraries, Archives, and Museums.” I finally had the time to read it in its entirety over winter break, and I believe it will definitely be useful to anyone having to think about these issues. If you’re involved in decision-making related to digitization, dealing with orphan works, or having to consider those types of hard questions, I’d say this book is a must-have. IMHO. ^_^ I’ll provide a more in-depth description when I have a chance, but I wanted to make sure that it made our lists of resources now.
