Synopsis

This new edition deals with everyday copyright issues in public libraries, and also highlights the implications of the EU Rental and Lending Directive. The "LA Copyright Guides" comprise six sectoral guides interpreting the main provisions of the 1988 Copyright Act affecting libraries and information units. These guidelines have been compiled by The Library Association's copyright experts, and have been fully revised to include details of European and government copyright legislation of: term of protection (duration); computer software; lending and rental; and protection of databases. The copyright implications of using audiovisual material and works in electronic form (eg CD-ROM, Internet material) are covered in each of the guides. Special advice is given on how to stay legal and there is a completely new section on relevant case law. Each guide introduces the reader to the basics of copyright, clarifying the complexities of copyright restrictions, and how to work within the exceptions, such as copying under library regulations and fair dealing. The miscellaneous advice section in each guide contains revised and updated guidance to help librarians cope with the full range of copyright issues facing them. Appendices include lists of useful addresses and further reading, as well as a sample declaration form.
