For a grand tour of copyright issues, check out The Copyright Web site at www.benedict.com. At the U.S. Copyright Office Web site at lcweb.loc.gov/copyright you can find general information about copyright law and registration, application forms, news about new and pending legislation, and more. If you are creating a Web page, and you aren't sure whether you can use that background image you found on someone else's Web site or whether you can quote your mother's favorite saying, check out The UT System Crash Course in Copyright at www.utsystem.edu/OGC/ IntellectualProperty/cprtindx.htm. In "The Pearl of Great Price: Copyright and Authorship from the Middle Ages to the Digital Age" at www.educause.edu/pub/er/ review/reviewArticles/30345.html Susan Saltrick hopes history can help us begin to resolve some of the copyright issues we face in the digital era.
