Subject: [SLAVLIBS] Section 108 Online Copyright Tool Now Available
All,
I wanted to let you all know about a new tool that I developed with the
support and expertise of the ALA OITP Copyright Advisory Subcommittee
that is now available online. This tool is specifically targeted to
assist librarians with their questions about when section 108 of the
copyright code (the library and archives provision) applies. In
general, this section allows for libraries or archives (under specific
circumstances) to 1) make copies of portions of works from their
collections for users, 2) make copies of entire works for users, 3) make
replacement copies of published works in their collections and 4) make
preservation copies of unpublished works in their collections.
Please bookmark this tool and share it with others in your libraries
that might find it useful (other subject specialists, interlibrary loan
workers, people on public services & special collections librarians).
Also available is a tool that can help you determine the copyright term
of a work (or if it has fallen into the public domain.
Here are the URLs:

I hope you find them useful.
