European Libraries and the Internet ― Copyright and Extended Collective Licences

European Libraries and the Internet: Copyright and Extended Collective Licences examines librariesÆ online use of in-copyright works from their collections and how such use is affected by copyright. In particular, the book examines whether the system of extended collective licences could facilitate online access without territorial limitations to in-copyright works in libraries, within Europe or more specifically within the European Economic Area (EEA).
