      abstract = {The development of new digital technologies has led to  fundamental changes in the ways that cultural institutions  fulfill their public missions of access, preservation,  research, and education. Many institutions are developing  publicly accessible Web sites that allow users to visit  online exhibitions, search collection databases, access  images of collection items, and in some cases create their  own digital content. Digitization, however, also raises the  possibility of copyright infringement. It is imperative  that staff in libraries, archives, and museums understand  fundamental copyright principles and how institutional  procedures can be affected by the law. "Copyright and  Cultural Institutions" was written to assist understanding  and compliance with copyright law. It addresses the basics  of copyright law and the exclusive rights of the copyright  owner, the major exemptions used by cultural heritage  institutions, and stresses the importance of "risk  assessment" when conducting any digitization project. Case  studies on digitizing oral histories and student work are  also included.},
