the effect of copyright ...

Liebe Liste,

eine treffende Beschreiung der Folgen des Urheberrechts für die Sichtbarkeit
neuerer Texte im digitalen Kontext findet sich bei Perry Willett: Electronic
Texts : audiences and purposes, in: A companion to digital humanities / edited
by Susan Schreibman, Ray Siemens and John Unsworth. - Oxford : Blackwell
Publishing, UK, 2004. - 611 p.
Blackwell companions to literature and culture ; 26
ISBN: 	1405103213

S. 240-253, hier S. 249:

"The effect of copyright means thar researchers and students interested in
twentieth-century and contemporary writing are largely prevented from using
electronic texts. A quick check of the online MLA Bibliographhy shows the
number of articels published after 1962 dealing with twentieth-century authors
is nearly double that of all other centuries combinded, covering 1200-1900 CE.
With the majority of researchers and students interested in writers and their
work after 1900, it is no wonder that they may consider electronic text
largely irrelevant to their studies."

Willett ist Leiter des Digital Library Production Service der University of
Michigan. Interessante Seite mit einigen Publikationen zum elektronischen

Das zitierte Sammelwerk ist übrigens insgesamt recht interessant. Hier der

Index

Eine kurze Rercherche im KVK hat ergeben, daß das Werk nur in Berlin,
Karlsruhe, Hamburg, Kiel, Wolfenbüttel, Köln, Münster, Darmstadt und Ilmenau
vorhanden ist. Keine Treffer für Bayern! ;-)

Hm, tja, das Buch kostet rund 95 Brit. Pfund und die Texte sind natürlich
nicht online. Wie gesagt: The effect of copyright ...
;-)

Schönen Gruß aus Thüringen
