Dear Lucy and all
It might be worth your while looking at the EU-funded effort to help with diligent search for book digitisation
http://www.arrow-net.eu/
It brings together bibliographic data from libraries, Books In Print Databases and information of Reproduction Rights Organisations to help identify rights holders for books
The Wellcome Trust has used the system

The Bibliotheque national de France has also expressed a wish to use the system for its digitisation plans for out of commerce books.

Subject: Fwd: Orphan works diligent search guidelines research
Apologies for cross-posting
Dear All,
As an extension of research previously undertaken for an MSc in Information and Library Management I am looking into what practical steps constitute a diligent search, specifically when digitising orphan works. I am aiming to collect a range of policies or step-by-step guidelines from orphan works digitising institutions and organisations to compare their approaches.
This will hopefully result in a best practice framework and collection of important avenues to consider when digitising orphan works to ensure a diligent search has been confidently carried out.
Please may I ask if anyone undertaking such projects would be willing to share their diligent search policy or practical step by step guides for staff. If you do not have access to these documents yourself but know of projects which may be able to help I would gratefully welcome any suggestions for further contact.
I am aiming to reach as many organisations who have these policies in order to gather as much evidence as possible. These policies will not be published, any responses will be anonymised and be retained purely for my own research and possibly contribute towards a CILIP Chartership portfolio.
Many thanks for your time,
Lucy
