DescriptionDigital libraries collect, manage, and preserve electronic expressions of knowledge on any subject and in any type or format. Consequently, the creation of a digital library presupposes the respect of the legal norms which govern the pre-existing materials included in the database. E-Publishing and Digital Libraries: Legal and Organizational Issues provides a comprehensive overview of the organizational and legal issues concerning digital libraries. It includes 24 contributions from world-renowned specialists in digital libraries. This premier reference source is a must-have for researchers and professionals in the field of ICTs and its various disciplines, including library, education, computer science and management, as well as experts in the field of law.
Reviews and Testimonials
Selected as a Fall 2011 Shelf-Worthy Academic Title by Baker & Taylor.
–
All of the chapters are well researched and have extensive references to directives and statutes. [...] "Anyone interested in the development and management of digital libraries will find something of interest in this comprehensive global survey."
– Frank Parry, Loughborough University, England, Online Information Review, Vol. 36, No. 2, 2012
What I liked about these chapters is not only the detailed analysis of the issue itself, but also the presentation of different legal solutions worldwide as well as the assessment of their shortcomings and advantages. Several authors make an attempt to provide a more universal approach to the problem in a more balanced way than exists at present. All in all, this is a very useful contribution to the literature on legal issues facing digital libraries.
