Digital communications technologies have led to fundamental changes in
the ways that cultural institutions fulfil their public missions of
access, preservation, research, and education. Institutions are
developing publicly-accessible websites in which users can visit online
exhibitions, search collection databases, access images of collection
items, and in some cases create their own digital content. Digitization,
however, also raises the possibility of copyright infringement.
"Copyright and Digitization" aims to assist understanding and compliance
with copyright law across libraries, archives and museums. It discusses
the exclusive rights of copyright owners, the major exemptions used by
cultural heritage institutions, and stresses the importance of risk
assessment when conducting any digitization project. It also includes
two cases studies, examining digitizing oral histories and student work.
