CHICAGO — Two new titles published by Facet Publishing and available through the 91��ý Store offer matchless guidance for navigating the always challenging areas of copyright. The sixth edition of Tim Padfield’s “” uniquely outlines copyright law in the UK with special reference to materials relevant to archive and records collections such as maps, legal records, records of local authorities, records of churches and faiths, most notably unpublished works. It also offers advice on rights in the electronic environment and the problems associated with rights clearance; and covers related areas such as moral rights and rights in databases. Among the topics covered:

• a description of the major changes to copyright exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives, including changes to library and archive copying for users and the declaration, changes to preservation copying and a new exception permitting on-site access to digital material;
• copyright exceptions, including descriptions of the extension of preservation copying to museums, orphan works schemes, education, parody, text and data mining, quotation and private copying;
• information about dealing with copyright, including acknowledgements and liability, a new small claims procedure in the courts of England and Wales, and which courts have jurisdiction over an infringement on the internet; and
• consideration of the many copyright cases that have come before the courts that have provided help with the interpretation of many aspects of the legislation; including the meaning of “transient and incidental,” “scientific research,” “parody,” and “originality”; whether hyperlinking infringes copyright; and the relationship between the rights of a copyright owner and freedom of speech.

Padfield worked at The National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) for over 30 years before his retirement in 2013. He is a past chair of the Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance and is adviser on copyright to the Society of Archivists, the International Council on Archives and the Bodleian Libraries.
