Stewardship in the Digital Age: Legal and Policy Frameworks
Clifford Lynch
This session will explore the implications of the shifting legal framework governing digital content based on a move from first sale to licensing and its implications for stewardship of the cultural record. I'll also consider additional legal provisions such as copyright deposit and their potential role as well as ideas such as cultural heritage, patrimony, and rights of creators. Finally, I'll briefly consider possible policy or legal changes that might encourage or facilitate stewardship in the digital age.
This seminar will be held both online & in person. You are welcome to join us either in South Hall or via Zoom.
