scanning campus newspaper / permissions

[wilfred onkoba]

Hi Ken


A working at a middle level college and I have almost a similar problem though slightly different. For clarity purposes, do want to micro Film the news papers or what. Our problem is on which technology is in the market for storage of old news papers. I had in mind microfiche but am wondering whether there is ay any better technology in the market.


The solution for now has been binding them but we are faced with some challenges among them is space.
Please let me know. Any body with your problem and mine will help us also.

Best Regards,

Wilfred Onkoba

Hi all,
 
I work at a university library, and we’re investigating the possibility of scanning the entire run of our student newspaper (outsourcing the job, not doing it ourselves). 

For those of you who have done similar projects, I would be interested in know how you determined the legality of doing so. With thousands of authors over the last century, none of whom signed contracts, license agreements, etc of any sort, I wonder how universities
 decide how copyright plays into all of this.
 
I am, of course, not looking for legal advice – I’m just wondering what sorts of issues you considered, who you talked to on campus, etc. 
 
Any ideas?

Thanks
Ken > PS – I think there was a web4lib discussion of some of this many years ago, but it appears the archives only go back to 2011 – what happened there? I must be out of the loop…
