title: Complete Copyright: An Everyday Guide For Librarians
author:  Carrie Russell 
description: This comprehensive treatise views eight major components of the copyright issue through the eyes of a cast of imaginary librarians and library users. Readers will be attracted to the cartoon characters and humorous profiles that lead into each section. In "Maggie Discovers Copyright," a savvy fifth grader has concerns about automatic copyright, public domain, and copyright duration. Another chapter, "Lena Posts a Web site," guides a library media specialist through posting a pathfinder on her school's Web site. "Charles Seeks Permission" guides a special-collections librarian through the process of seeking copyright permission to digitize articles for a publicly accessible Web site. Scenarios expand on related copyright components for easier problem solving, and clustering makes the information accessible from the table of contents as well as from the index. Nearly 100 pages of appended material, in contrasting color, contain portions of the copyright law, court cases, and fair use guidelines. The format features a spiral binding, font variations, and colored inset boxes with tips, facts, Q &amp; As, and note-taking pages. This is an interesting guide, but with its busy format and many insert boxes, it's more of an armchair read than a reference source.<i>Vicki Reutter, Cazenovia High School, NY</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
