The following may be of interest concerning new changes to UK copyright law as of today, which looks set to save archives and libraries a fair few quid.
Three new regulations:
The Copyright and Rights in Performances (Disability) Regulations 2014 - This allows those with a disability or groups representing them to make copies of materials in different formats.
The Copyright and Rights in Performances (Research, Education, Libraries and Archives) Regulations 2014 - Libraries can begin to scan materials and make them available in digital collections.
The Copyright (Public Administration) Regulations 2014 - Public bodies can now publish everything that they hold online.
