As an archivist or records manager it is essential to keep up to date with the complexities of copyright legislation, and Copyright for Archivists and Records Managers has been described as an ‘unparalleled’ resource for that purpose. What is copyright? Who owns it and for how long? What rights does it confer, and what are the limitations and exceptions? This comprehensive manual uniquely outlines copyright law in the UK with special reference to the unpublished materials commonly found in archive and records collections such as maps, legal records, records of local authorities and parish registers. It also gives comprehensive information on authorship and duration of copyright in older as well as modern works and on the wide range of exceptions and limitations to copyright, particularly those relevant to archivists, records managers, librarians and curators. It offers advice on rights in the electronic environment, moral rights and rights in databases and contains extensive tables of duration of copyright in other countries.

It can be recommended to all UK librarians, archivists and records managers, and it will be of interest to students and practitioners involved more broadly in copyright and related rights as well.' -- Charles Oppenheim * European Intellectual Property Review * 'For core matters like copyright duration, Padfield’s editions have long been vital in providing a quick and accessible source of information and validation and this edition continues to offer such essential support. Copyright for Archivists and Records Managers remains the main source of revised and pragmatic go-to reference for UK information professionals.' -- Fred Saunderson * Taylor & Francis Online * 'Thoroughly ""user friendly"" in organization and presentation, Copyright for Archivists and Records Managers is an ideal Library Science curriculum textbook and unreservedly recommended as a community, academic, and governmental library staff in-service training instructional reference collections.' -- James A.
