Research

Intelligent Television and OCLC/RLG Programs have been studying public-private partnerships for mass digitization and developing recommendations for libraries, museums, and archives, and their commercial partners. The “Good Terms” project has been examining in detail all publicly-available agreements concerning the digitization of American cultural heritage materials in all media, including video. These recommendations are now available as: “Good Terms—Improving Commercial-Noncommercial Partnerships for Mass Digitization; A Report Prepared by Intelligent Television for RLG Programs, OCLC Programs and Research.” D-Lib Magazine, 13,11/12 (November/December), online at http://dlib.org/dlib/november07/kaufman/11kaufman.html.

Building on the “Marketing Culture” project below, our objective is also to develop a rich resource of publicly available agreements and commentary and also useful model terms for future agreements. This resource is now available online at: http://www.oclc.org/programs/ourwork/collectivecoll/harmonization/massdigresourcelist.htm
