The AHDS is pleased to announce the launch of a new case study on
digital
rights management:
http://ahds.ac.uk/creating/case-studies/protecting-rights/
This case study examines the AHDS's rights management framework
through
the perspective of a digitisation project. It begins by discussing
the
methods by which material can be licensed for distribution on the
Internet, and the implications of making such material available for
use
on line. It examines the terms and conditions that users are required
to accept in using AHDS collections, and it gives a practical example
of
how the rights of depositors have been protected. It provides an
exemplar action plan that rights managers may find useful in
protecting
copyrights that have been entrusted to them. It concludes by arguing
that clarity over rights and responsibilities is as important in the
protection of digital assets as authentication or authorisation.
This case study will be relevant to many parties, including those
charged with creating digital resources, those who use digital
resources, and those who publish resources through the Internet.
