档案馆越来越多地考虑将大规模数字化作为满足用户期望的一种手段,即可以在线远程获取材料。版权经常被认为是这些努力的一个重大障碍,但几乎没有经验数据存在的版权许可过程中的档案。这篇文章报道了密歇根大学乔恩·科恩艾滋病研究收集的版权许可过程的研究结果。具体而言,该研究试图揭示寻求版权许可需要付出多少努力,这些努力的结果会是什么,以及是否存在与接受或拒绝状态相关的文档或版权所有者的特征。该研究发现,与权利人联系和谈判需要大量时间,获得许可的最大障碍是没有回应。在那些得到响应的请求中,绝大多数是授予许可。虽然很少有请求被拒绝,但数据表明,商业版权所有者比其他类型的版权所有者更有可能拒绝许可。数据还表明,遵守仅在网上显示那些获得明确许可的文件的共同政策可能会导致在线收集的内容基本上不完整。
Archival repositories are increasingly considering mass digitization as a means of meeting user expectations that materials be available online, remotely. Copyright is frequently noted as a significant obstacle to these efforts, but little empirical data exist on the copyright permissions process in archives. This article reports the findings of a study of the copyright permissions process for the Jon Cohen AIDS Research Collection at the University of Michigan. Specifically, the study sought to reveal how much effort is required to seek copyright permissions, what the results of those efforts would be, and whether or not there were traits of documents or copyright holders that were associated with accept or denial status. The study found that significant time is required to contact and negotiate with rights holders and that the biggest obstacle to getting permission is non-response. Of those requests that get a response, the vast majority are to grant permission. While few of the requests were met with denial, the data suggest that commercial copyright holders are much more likely to deny permission than other types of copyright holders. The data also show that adherence to the common policy of only displaying online those documents with explicit permission will likely result in substantially incomplete online collections.
