Synopsis

This book is a practical guide to the use of digital content. It deals with the question of how electronic information can be used legitimately, and suggests practical ways in which copyright clearance can be obtained whilst keeping the administration to a manageable level.
This book is essential for all practitioners working in library and information centres, archives and museums needing to know how to go about digitizing their collections and to understand the complexities of DRM. It is also of great value to publishers managing contracts, assignments and licenses, and to students of information and media studies.
