This handbook provides library and information professionals with
practical guidance to minimize the risk of copyright infringement
in the era of information sharing and online collaborative working.
The book considers how copyright applies to a wide range of
electronic content types including APIs, e-books, blogs, wikis, RSS
feeds, e-mails, streaming, podcasts, broadcasts, databases, social
networking sites and GUIs. Author Paul Pedley looks at activities
which are especially relevant to library and information services
such as the lending of electronic content and the mass digitization
of content from a library collection, and considers activities
undertaken by internet users such as deep linking, filesharing,
mashups, and scraping, and the copyright issues associated with
those activities. The text draws upon relevant legislation as well
as numerous examples of legal disputes and court decisions from the
UK, Europe, and the USA. Highly practical, the book is packed
throughout with tips, case summaries, sample wording, and in each
section it also draws attention to useful resources. Key topics
include: * the background to e-copyright and the debates arising *
the different content types, from APIs to e-books and wikis * the
copyright implications of activities such as deep linking, mashups,
scraping and selling digital content second-hand * copyright
exceptions such as those for fair dealing, library privilege, the
making of a temporary copy, visual impairment, and the public
interest * licences for e-content such as Creative Commons, open
access, and the open government licence, and microlicensing
solutions * the Digital Economy Act 2010 * rights enforcement
measures * the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property and
Growth. Readership: Library and information professionals looking
for guidance on how to avoid e-copyright infringements, students of
LIS, electronic publishing and computer science.
