In this Early Career Development project, Jean Dryden of the University of Maryland's College of Information Studies will examine the copyright practices of libraries, archives, and museums in the digitization of their holdings and the impact of these practices upon their users. This research will aid libraries, archives, and museums as they continue to develop best practices that will make their holdings more widely available to the public while still protecting the legitimate interests of rights holders. The proposed research will potentially have an impact on institutional practice, professional education, scholarly research, and copyright policy.
