The Copyright and Licensing for Digital Preservation Project ran from September
2002 to March 2004 and was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board.
The aim of the research was to investigate whether and how copyright legislation and
licensed access to digital content affect the ability of libraries to provide long-term
access to that content, and to suggest ways in which any problems can be overcome.
The project included a review of the library, legal and related literatures.
Questionnaire surveys were then used to explore the views of libraries, publishers and
authors. These were supplemented by twenty in-depth, face-to-face interviews with
librarians, publishers, legal experts, digital preservation experts and representatives of
rights holder organisations. An invitation-only seminar was held, at which delegates
discussed possible solutions to the issues identified.
