FAQ Number 4

What about copyright of images digitised?

IPR and copyright is a very complex area and unfortunately there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution to these issues. Every resource or collection of resources may have its own IPR problems that will need to be solved before a digitisation project can go ahead. However, as it is an issue of such importance when working in a networked environment, a number of excellent resources have been produced to guide you through the process of clearing resources for use.
