✦ Synopsis

This practical guide is aimed specifically at information professionals who are often those responsible for copyright compliance in their organisation. Copyright infringement can carry both civil and criminal penalties, making it essential for those responsible to get it right. This new edition has been updated to take account of recent developments concerning Crown copyright, and the proposed EC Directive on harmonising certain aspects of copyright and related rights. There is a new chapter on licensing agreements for electronic information, and an updated list of useful organisations.
