| The copyright revolution at US art museums | Tyler Green: Modern Art Notes | ARTINFO.com Posted: 24 Sep 2011 12:52 PM PDT blogs.artinfo.com "Every once and a while an art museum (or two or three) does something so jaw-droppingly clever that in hindsight it seems like an obvious thing to do. So it is with the decision by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Walters Art Museum and various entities at Yale University to make high-resolution images of art from their collections available for anyone to use, for any purpose, copyright-free. (At Yale special credit goes to the Yale Center for British Art, which got out ahead of the rest of the school’s similar efforts.) ..." |

| ARL Policy Notes, About those orphans Posted: 24 Sep 2011 12:22 PM PDT policynotes.arl.org "In the days since they filed a wide-ranging lawsuit against research libraries over their collaboration with Google and the nascent Orphan Works Project, the Authors Guild has dropped several clever blog posts walking through the orphan candidates list to see if they can find rights holders. While this kind of collaboration is exactly what HathiTrust and its partners had in mind when they posted the list, the Michigan Library has announced they are suspending the project so they can improve the search process in light of the information the Guild is finding. As Michigan says in its statement, this iteration is a salutary part of the process and does nothing to discredit the underlying goal of identifying and surfacing neglected works. It is important to remember a few [6] things as the project re-tools...." |
| Posted: 24 Sep 2011 12:21 PM PDT www.publishersweekly.com "This is a discussion we must all have together. Our future library will be the product of a shared struggle. Factions will not always agree; our arguments may be vehement. Yet if we communicate with respect and without fear, then our hope for a future with greater access to more information, for more people, and with more participation, may be realized. How we envision a literate and informed society determines how we make our laws and shape our covenants. We must choose with care, brick by brick, the height of the walls that we place around the sharing of our knowledge and culture. In the choosing we will define our libraries, and ourselves, in a digital age...." |
| How PubGet could be better: add free open repositories. In fact, how about a good repo search site? Posted: 24 Sep 2011 12:05 PM PDT bengoldacre - secondary blog, (23 Sep 2011) "PubGet looks fun...None of the logins in our home work on it but it's a nice idea. Here's my suggestion to improve it: journals being free to access is only one model [gold OA], the other is academics posting copies of their papers in local free access repositories where they're allowed to is another [green OA]....So how about adding free open repositories of closed papers to PubGet? ..." |

CERN has now issued a Market Survey for the benefit of SCOAP3. It is publicly available at: ..." |

| The Fight Over the Future of Digital Books - Dan Cohen - Technology - The Atlantic Posted: 24 Sep 2011 10:09 AM PDT www.theatlantic.com "Unlike Google, which ambitiously -- some would say recklessly -- planned to make all scanned books available in some form to the public, from "snippets" to full views, HathiTrust simply wishes to make available for scholarship older, out-of-print books whose authors and publishers cannot be located. Often called "orphan works," these books exist in an unclear realm: still technically in copyright but without identifiable rights-holders. What is very clear is that without the orphanages we call libraries, many of these works would no longer be available for scholars to read. Authors Guild v. HathiTrust is a strange legal twist. For an association of professional writers, the Guild seems to have forgotten some of the basic principles of its craft, such as not placing sympathetic figures like librarians in the role of villains. Almost comically, the Guild's press release trumpeting its lawsuit against HathiTrust augurs a dark day in the not-too-distant future when old works, including obscure Yiddish texts, are "abducted" and "released" to thousands of students and professors...." |
