[WEB4LIB] Local History and copyright on the Internet

[Marty Williams]

Hi Jenny

I'm Electronic Information/reference/programs/....... Librarian at City of
Onkaparinga and thought you may want to get in touch with one of our staff -
Linda McPharlin. Linda has been awarded the Rod East fellowship funding and
is looking into digitising Local History collections. I've had a couple
useful meetings with her and Peter Jenkins at the State Library re issues
including copyright.

You can contact her through our reception at 83840655

Cheers
Marty Williams

>Hi all,
>
>I've been following this list for a few months and must say it is quite
interesting and resourceful.  I work in a public library in South Australia
and am hoping this question is relevant for your list.
>
>Our library is working with the local Historical Society on a project to
provide Internet access to their historical resouces through our web site.
>
>We have major concerns at the moment about copyright issues and would like
to design a form for all contributors to the society to sign, giving
permission for us to digitally publish photographs, oral histories, etc on
the Internet.
>
>Has anyone out there already created such a form or know where I can access
a few examples.
>
>Is there anything else that I should be considering in terms of copyright?
>
>I'm still quite new at this stuff and would appreciate any advice you have
to offer.
>
>Thanks in advance,
