Australian Libraries Copyright Commitee: Orphaned Works Forum
Many libraries and cultural institutions struggle with copyright issues in relation to 'orphaned works', works where the creator is not known or not locatable. In recognition of this significant problem within institutions, the Government in February announced it would be conducting a review of the issue in 2006. On 22 May 2006, the ALCC together with CICI hosted a joint forum which looked at the issue of orphan works in libraries and cultural institutions in Australia, and considered options for reform and how best to move forward in light of the upcoming Government review. Recordings of presentations given at that forum are now available to download.
