Hello,
I am looking for guidance on CD-ROM copyright/use in libraries.
We currently purchase CD-ROMs for lending from a specific supplier, however, we have received a number of CD-ROMs as donations from a library user. Although we are sure that these CD-ROMs would not be licensed for lending as they were not purchased from a library supplier, we wondered whether we would be in breach of the law by making them available for reference use in the library only.
Has anyone come across a similar situation, or is anyone aware of the law in this instance?
Many thanks for your help, I will be happy to post a summary of replies to the list.
Caroline
