Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, Third Edition

As announced on the U.S. Copyright web site on Aug. 19:

Register of Copyrights Maria A. Pallante has released a public draft of the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, Third Edition (the “Third Edition”). The first major revision in more than two decades, the draft presents more than 1200 pages of administrative practices and sets the stage for a number of long-term improvements in registration and recordation policy. It will remain in draft form for 120 days pending final review and implementation, taking effect on or around December 15, 2014.

I can see that some of this will wind up being read by my students this semester, because it will help to answer questions that students don't even know that they should have!
