Digitizing Orphan Works: Legal Strategies to… : DASH Story 2017-05-30
I work with libraries and archives of all sizes in a 10 county area in Upstate NY. Many of the repositories I work with hold materials that aren't available elsewhere and have limited public access due to small (or no) staff and hours by appointment. They can be reluctant to post orphan works online because they are worried about getting into legal trouble, something institutions with extremely small budgets cannot afford. This article will be very helpful to me in advising them. They will be able to make their materials available to others while minimizing legal risk.

I'm a scholarly communications librarian who is trying to keep up on recommendations and good faith practices in the field, and it is incredibly helpful to have an open access report easily accessible on the topic. Thank you!
