Le fil de nouvelles AScribe nous informe d’une nouvelle ressource concernant le statut juridique des films des USA :

AUSTIN, Texas, June 1 (AScribe Newswire) — The University of Texas at Austin’s Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center and the Reading University Library have created Firms Out of Business (FOB), an online database containing the names and addresses of copyright holders or contact persons for out-of-business printing and publishing firms, magazines, literary agencies and similar organizations that have archives housed in libraries and archives in North America and the United Kingdom.

FOB can be accessed at http://www.fob-file.com.

FOB is a companion project to the Writers, Artists and Their Copyright Holders (WATCH), an online database containing the names and addresses of copyright holders or contact persons for authors and artists. The WATCH file is accessible at http://www.watch-file.com.

The objective of both projects is to provide information to scholars and researchers about whom to contact for permission to publish text and images that have copyright protection.

Document numérique Droit d'auteur Standards

Douze standards d’information

L’édition d’avril 2007 de la revue Computers in Libraries nous propose un article de Kathy Dempsey, qui passe en revue 12 standards importants du domaine de l’Information. Voici le résumé, tiré du site de la revue :

A Dozen Primers on Important Information Standards
To bring you up-to-date on as many standards as possible, the editor in chief commissioned a dozen primers. In each, a subject expert explains one standard in just one page. This directly fulfills part of CIL’s mission, which is to deliver practical articles that make technology understandable. This value-added section covers these applications: Atom, COinS, MADS, MARC 21 / MARCXML, MIX, MXG, OpenSearch, PREMIS, RESTful HTTP, unAPI, XMPP (aka Jabber), and ZeeRex. Find out what these acronyms stand for and what these apps can do for you.

D’ailleurs, l’édition de juin 2007 discute des questions du droit d’auteur aux USA.
