Copyright and other types of laws regulating intellectual property
create an increasing concern for contemporary scholarship. The
digital environment has created exciting new opportunities and
possibilities for scholars to work and distribute their work. But
these new opportunities also create issues that did not arise in
the analog world. Owning and Using Scholarship: An IP Handbook for
Teachers and Researchers attempts to demystify intellectual
property, and especially copyright law, for academic authors and
independent scholars who face these dilemmas. It also can serve as
a comprehensive resource for librarians who are asked to assist
with these new and challenging decisions. Throughout the book a
clear explanation of the law is coupled with concrete examples
drawn from actual issues encountered by scholars. This balance of
theoretical background and practical application is designed to
appeal to both those who want a quick discussion of potential
approaches and those who prefer to know ""why."" In addition to
applying this approach to copyright issues that arise for research
and teaching, the volume also discusses the options and obstacles
that confront authors wishing to publish their work in new
environment. Explanations and objective assessments of the
different options available for disseminating scholarship are
provided to assist authors and other creators in making their own
decisions about the best choice for them.
