What is an "Orphan Work" and why does it affect me?
What do you do if you can't find the copyright holder of a work (say,
a photograph, artwork, article, or film clip) that you want to use in
a book or a website? The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and
the Medical Library Association (MLA) are sponsoring an interactive
teleconference on "Orphan Works" on Monday, May 2. A panel of experts
will discuss options to address problems with orphan works-copyrighted
works whose owners are difficult or even impossible to locate-and
strategies for dealing with them.
Teleconference participants will listen to commentary from each of the
presenters-representing diverse constituencies-and have the
opportunity to submit questions as part of the live discussion.
Participants will dial in by phone to a conference call to hear
presenters. Questions can be submitted to presenters during the
teleconference using an online chat function. (Complete instructions
will be sent to all registered participants.)
Panelists will address a wide range of issues, including:
* What are orphan works?
* What problems have users faced when trying to use orphan works?
* Who faces this problem?
* What are the implications for the conduct of research and
education?
* What is the challenge to digitization initiatives?
* How can this issue be addressed through legislation and what
are some of the key elements
of a legislative solution?
