Excerpt from the comment of an Austrian publisher:
Significantly different are the issues concerning museums and archives where in most cases works
of art which are free of copyright are stored. (At a certain degree the problem of orphan works
remains.)
In these cases the physical access to the works of art is often restricted for re-use therefore it is not
possible to digitize the works of art which are of interest for re-use. These institutions tend to gain
new copyrights on the digitized files which definitely should be under the rules of the directive.

The library blogosphere's BIG question right now is: Are we going to freely open up our bibliographic data, i.e., our library metadata? And how are we going to do this?
As OCLC members/contributors: Do we want to spread the bibliographic wealth around? Or do we accept the new OCLC policy which restricts particular types of access/re-use of the bibliographic records we create and add to the WorldCat database?

The Aardvark no longer speaks.
On 24 November 2008, a spammer seized the comment function and posted over 4000 spam comments on this site.
In the process, or during my attempts to clear up the mess, my Movable Type installation broke.
As my anti-spam precautions are obviously no longer effective and spammers have in the past succeeded in completely taking down the server during their spam attacks, the only way to continue my weblog would be to upgrade to a new version of Movable Type, which also requires a complete redesign of my templates and some serious data migration of all my blog content to an entirely different database format.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do that at the moment.
Therefore I am taking The Aardvark Speaks offline, effective immediately.
I know this is kind of sudden, but in this case things are beyond my control.
Thanks to everyone who visited this weblog during the past five years; I hope you enjoyed the show.
Peace,
Horst

Fred von Lohmann, senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, recently raised concerns about Google’s new settlement with publishers allowing the search engine to continue borrowing millions of books from libraries and scanning them to make a digital library.
His remarks were made to an international library copyright event in Chisinau, Moldova on 13 November where he spoke on the subject of “copyright’s ever-expanding empire” addressing digital rights management (technologies for controlling copyrighted content), licences and the privatisation of public information.
