Rights, Research, Results: The Copyright Review Management System

This presentation will include a review of the achievements of the Institute of Museum and Library Services-funded Copyright Review Management System (CRMS) project and it will consider the promise this effort holds for the future of access to electronic scholarly resources. The project has established reliable, responsible processes for assessing the copyright status of books in the HathiTrust Digital Library. There are two areas of focus to date. In the CRMS-US effort, copyright determinations have been made for over 200,000 books published in the US between 1923 and 1963. In the more recently established CRMS-World (a collaboration of over 20 reviewers at 14 academic institutions), copyright status determination for another 170,000 titles published in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom is beginning. The goal is grand, yet simple: to learn more about the copyright status of books in the HathiTrust and to make books identified as ‘no longer subject to copyright’ available for anyone to read, thus fulfilling the promise of the public domain.
