Acquiring the rights to special collections material is of increasing
importance as special collections are increasingly being digitized and
placed online. Greater access to materials can lead to greater risk of
copyright infringement, but for materials being acquired currently, it
is possible to reduce the risk by acquiring rights at the point of
accession. At New York University, key stakeholders addressed these
issues by creating a framework for special collections acquisitions
agreements that covers common circumstances surrounding the transfer of
intellectual rights to special collections material, specifically with
an eye to the possible digitization and placement of the material
online.
