IFLA — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:34:47 +0100

IFLA WLIC 11-16 August 2012, Helsinki, Finland

Copyright laws have been established in many countries in the print age and have not been updated to meet the new needs of the digital era. There is a serious need of special laws and legal terms for this variety of media to increase and preserve accessibility, not only on the national level but also on an international one.

Leading academic researchers from the cultural heritage and the publishers sectors approach this issue: digital library user experience: a focus on current user research; digital library content: what users want and how they use it; strategies for institutions: how cultural institutions and publishers respond to the digital challenge.
