Copyright

This work sets out in a question-and-answer fashion to explain the UK Copyright Act and the supporting legislation. This revised edition incorporates the new 1995 laws designed to meet European standards, including legislation on lending and rental, computer software, terms of protection, databases, and unpublished works in libraries. There are new sections on licensing schemes and on developments in networking copyright issues, plus the latest news of forthcoming legislation on the visual image. Areas covered include: literary, dramatic and musical works; artistic works; sound recordings; films and videos; and broadcasts. 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.
