Wayback Wednesday: Copyright blog posts from the Digitization 101 archives

This week, I want to sit back with  cup of coffee and highlight several Digitization 101 blog posts worth remembering on copyright and digitization:

• Book: Copyright and Cultural Institutions: Guidelines for Digitization for U.S. Libraries, Archives, and Museums
• Book: Handbook on Copyright and Related Issues for Libraries
• Strategy: Well-intentioned practice for putting digitized collections of unpublished materials online 
• Report: Acquiring Copyright Permission to Digitize and Provide Open Access to Books
• Blog post: The myth of the pre-1923 public domain
• Paper: Mass Digitization and Copyright Law, Policy and Practice

For many institutions, deed of gift forms are very important (and yes, this is related to copyright).  These blog posts are on that topic:

• If your organization accepts gifts (items), then it needs a Deed of gift form
• A personal deed of gift experience
• Why is this item important? (A personal deed of gift experience, part 2)

There are other digitization-related copyright resources in this Nov. 2009 resource list.

The blog posts below are not specifically related to digitization, but still worth remembering:

• People to listen to and learn from concerning copyright law
• Video: Copyright Basics
• Educational material from the Copyright Clearance Center
• Book: The Illustrated Story of Copyright
• 40% Increase in Copyright Risk Management Concerns over Last Year
• Copyright, Fair Use and Blogging
• Article: Urban Copyright Legends
• Martin Luther King Jr. and the "I have a dream speech"
• Book Chapter: Copyright Law, Intellectual Property Policy, And Academic Culture
• Web resource: Frequently Asked Questions about Copyright: Issues Affecting the U.S. Government

I've tried to check links to see if they still work, but may have missed a few.  If you run into a link that no longer works, try putting the resource's name in your favorite Internet search engine and seeing if its new location comes up.  If you can't find it, give me a shout and I'll see what I can do!  

Want to dig into the archives yourself?  Use the "popular labels" on the right side of the blog OR use your favorite Internet search engine to search this site (e.g, site:hurstassociates.blogspot.com plus whatever terms are relevant to you).
