Obstacles to mass digitization

inadequate standards, lack of synergy between cultural and
technological programmes and lack of consistency in approaches
to IP rights.

Copyright as an obstacle
The overall opinion seems to prevail that
present copyright laws in the European
countries have not been amended to enable
libraries and archives to operate efficiently and
adequately in the global digital environment.

Why copyright clearance? digitization is act of reproduction and
communication to the public & making available to the public
national copyright laws require the author's permission for all these acts if the work is protected

Conclusions
Differences in approach between institutions
some consider a digital copy to be a preservation copy
some consider themselves as publishers of new copies
SEEDI, Zagreb, May 18th, 2011

Exceptions and limitations
enumerated in the InfoSoc Directive 2001,
they are different in different national copyright laws,
libraries can act due to these exceptions and limitations,
possible solution are mandatory exceptions for libraries
and similar institutions.
another possible solution is extended collective licensing

Bide, Oppenheim and Ramsden (1997)

of digitization rights
