Conference on copyright issues related to digitisation in libraries

On 6-7 June 2013 the international conference “To Digitise or not to Digitise: Copyright, Public Domain, Orphan Works and Other Issues” will take place in the University of Tartu Library, Estonia. An open eBooks on Demand (EOD) network meeting will also be held.

Dr. Que Anh Ha, University of Innsbruck: ARROW+

Patrick Peiffer, National Library of Luxembourg: Public Domain Calculator

Dr. Gudrun Wirtz, Bavarian State Library: “Between legal restrictions, technological possiblities and user needs – the acquisition strategy of German Open Access Repository for East European Studies “OstDok”

Dr. Aleksei Kelli, University of Tartu: “The authorial rights in the digital economy”

Karmen Linask, National Library of Estonia: “Digital collections and legal challenges in Estonia”

Jerker Ryden, National Library of Sweden: “Interlibrary loan in the future – how to fix the digital link?”

 

The conference targets libraries, archives, museums and other interested parties who deal with copyright matters or are interested in providing the EOD digitisation service on demand.
