Copyright

This book sets out in a question-and-answer fashion to explain the UK copyright Act and the supporting legislation. The result is a working reference tool to which librarians and archivists can turn for a ready answer. The subject index draws together material dealt with by a number of separate questions. Printed materials, manuscripts, audiovisual works, photographs, maps, databases, broadcasts and works of art are all covered. The law relating to copying, preservation, re-publishing, importation, exhibition and rental is examined in the context of both public and private collections.
