Dear All,
I have just heard that it is possible that the draft "Copyright Declaration" suggested by the BL after the initial publication of the EU Copyright Directive may have to change in the light of the Statutory Instrument which has been laid before Parliament. The British Library are now consulting on this and hope to be able to let us all know what the final definitive declaration is going to be by the end of this week. In addition to this we still have to wait Parliament's assent to the SI, although this is very likely to be given today or tomorrow.
I'll let you all know as soon as I hear anything so that those of you (like us) who have printed forms can get the new wording sent off to the printers.
In the meantime there is a useful article by Barbara Stratton at CILIP available on the CILIP website at http://www.cilip.org.uk/committees/laca/copyrightdir_oct03.html explaining more fully the implications of the SI.
