Copyright as an obstacle

The overall opinion seems to prevail that present
copyright laws in the European countries have not
been amended to enable libraries and archives to
operate efficiently and adequately in the global digital
environment.

Why copyright clearance?


digitization is act of reproduction and
communication to the public & making
available to the public
national copyright laws require the author's
permission for all these acts if the work is
protected

Issues of concern

Orphan works - lack of reliable
databases
Open access - option for cultural and
scientific institutions

Conclusions
Differences in approach between institutions

some consider a digital copy to be a preservation copy

some consider themselves as publishers of new copies

Exceptions and limitations

enumerated in the InfoSoc Directive 2001,

they are different in different national copyright laws,

libraries can act due to these exceptions and limitations,

possible solution are mandatory exceptions for libraries
and similar institutions.

another possible solution is extended collective licensing

Bide, Oppenheim and Ramsden (1997)

(a central agency) for the clearance of
digitization rights
