From School Library Journal This carefully researched volume provides a complete background on copyright and its implications for the library world. Organized chronologically it traces the balance sought in American copyright law its roots in British law and the relationship between the two. The remainder of the book is devoted to the intricacies "of what currently is and is not covered by copyright protection and what exactly that protection means." Although technically accurate the writing style may include more detail than some librarians need to answer their questions. The "bottom line" information in the "Fair Use" section is the most readable and helps explain this complicated issue. The book is divided into: "Essential Background" "Applying Copyright to Cyberspace" "Specific Library Applications" and "Copyright Information Source box." The latter section contains a variety of excerpts from the Copyright Act of 1976 and the ALA model policy concerning photocopying and includes information about obtaining permission to use copyrighted material fulfilling your responsibility as an information professional and an extensive list of resources available from various organizations. As librarians help patrons and staff navigate our litigious world this volume will be indispensable for school districts and public libraries. Mary Lankford Texas Education Agency Austin Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information Inc. From Library Journal As more libraries provide access to the Internet and World Wide Web Hoffman chief articles editor of Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal explains some of the laws and problems of copyright in an online environment. She divides her book into four sections. The first provides a generalized history of copyright law in the United States. The second section describes how copyright is applied to the online world. The third delves into library issues specifically distance education and how resources such as Title 17 of the U.S. Code are referred to throughout the book. This section is interesting to those wanting to read the actual laws but these resources are available elsewhere and take up almost half of the guide. Also it cites few print materials beyond 1997. A nice feature is a series of Q&A boxes that explain aspects of copyright and how they relate to libraries. Recommended especially for collections concentrating on distance learning.
