Roger Jøsevold (Nationalbibliothek Norwegen, Oslo): A National Library for the 21th Century –
Content and services in The Digital Library

In 2004 the Norwegian National Library (NLN) adopted a digital strategy saying that The National Library shall be the core of a Norwegian digital library.

Within the framework of this strategy NLN has launched a digital library service with content from a range of media. Some examples:
• An agreement between the Norwegian Collecting society Kopinor and NLN agreed upon in 2012 gives everyone with a Norwegian IP-address access to all books published in Norway up through the year 2000. The agreement is based on the legal platform of extended collective licensing.
• Through agreements with newspaper-publishers NLN has digitized their historical collections and secured access to these in all Norwegian Libraries.
• Since 2001 NLN has had a close partnership with the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. In a joint operation the historical radio archive of the broadcaster has been digitized. Part of this archive is now being disseminated through NLN´s digital library services.
The effect of having made this historical content accessible on nb.no can be seen through the user statistics. During the last four years there has been an annual growth of users by 40-50 %. In March this year there was an all-time high with a total of more than 400 000 visitors to nb.no. The number must be compared with the fact that Norway is a small country with only five million inhabitants.

Felix Trumpke (Rechtsreferendar am OLG Frankfurt/Main): Gedächtniseinrichtungen, Online-Archive und Urheberrecht – Liegt der Schlüssel zu den Archiven in Skandinavien?

Der Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage der Nutzung von urheberrechtlich geschützten Werken durch Gedächtniseinrichtungen im Kontext von Online-Archiven und diskutiert verschiedene Lösungsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere das seit langer Zeit in Skandinavien praktizierte Modell der Erweiterten Kollektiven Lizenz, das zwar durchaus vielversprechende Ansätze aufweisen mag, dessen Ursprung und Eigenheiten aber gleichzeitig nicht verkannt werden dürfen.

Stef van Gompel (Institute for Information Law, Amsterdam):
Mass-digitization and (extended) collective licensing: the way forward?

This presentation will discuss licensing problems associated with mass-digitization projects and how (extended) collective licensing mechanisms can provide a solution to the most pressing issues that archives, libraries and museums face when they aim to make their collections available online. While (extended) collective licensing is the most obvious and perhaps best possible solution for any large-scale rights clearance operation, especially where right owners are unknown or very difficult (if not impossible) to find, it also comes with a number of disadvantages. These include the dominant position of collective rights management organizations, their uncertain licensing mandate, and the fact that the collected royalties may not always be distributable to the relevant right owners. Nevertheless, it will be concluded that some of the disadvantages might be legally overcome and others may need to be accepted if we wish to make Europe’s cultural heritage available online.

Diana Ettig (Hogan Lovells, Frankfurt/Main): Elektronische Leseplätze: Das EuGH-Verfahren Technische Universität Darmstadt gegen Eugen Ulmer im europäischen Kontext

Diana Ettig berichtet in ihrem Vortrag „Elektronische Leseplätze“ über das Musterverfahren Technische Universität Darmstadt gegen Eugen Ulmer, welches derzeit vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof anhängig ist. Darin geht es um die Auslegung von Artikel 5 Abs. 3 lit. n der europäischen Urheberrechtsrichtlinie (RL 2001/29/EG). Die Schrankenbestimmung ermöglicht es öffentlichen Bibliotheken, Archiven und ähnlichen Einrichtungen, urheberrechtlich geschützte Werke an elektronischen Leseplätzen zugänglich zu machen. In der praktischen Anwendung wirft die Vorschrift, welche von vielen Mitgliedstaaten in nationales Recht umgesetzt wurde, jedoch zahlreiche Fragen auf. Diese wurden nunmehr dem Europäischen Gerichtshof im Rahmen eines Vorabentscheidungsverfahrens vorgelegt. Diana Ettig ist Rechtsanwältin in der Sozietät Hogan Lovells und vertritt gemeinsam mit ihrem Kollegen Dr. Nils Rauer die TU Darmstadt in dem Verfahren, welches sie in ihrem Vortrag in seinen europäischen Kontext stellen wird.

ARCHIVIA 14

Online-Archives for cultural diversity in Europe!

 

The international conference ARCHIVIA 14 will take place on September 6th and 7th within the framework of this year’s Ars Electronica Festival in Linz (Austria). It will gather representatives of both the national and European academic and political sphere and focus on the challenges online archiving is confronted with. At the intersection of author’s rights and public interest in free access to information, the conference will raise questions on legal and cultural-economic challenges and solutions for online archives. With workshops, presentations and talks ARCHIVIA will open a forum for current challenges and solutions. The ARCHIVIA conference is a part of the EU funded project „Captcha – Creative Approaches to Living Cultural Archives“.

 

 

Focus on European projects

The 2012 edition of ARCHIVIA mainly focused on the challenges of digitalization for archives and their impact on the legal situation handling archive material. The 2014 edition puts experiences, best practices and examples of current and past European projects in the center of attention.

 

Open call for participation

ARCHIVIA 2014 invites private and public interest libraries, museums and archives from all over Europe, to present and discuss their views on Europe and the status of their projects. The conference addresses an interested professional audience and a broad public.

 

Strengthening online archives!

Mutual exchange of experiences and visions within the conference aims at boosting the relevance of digital online platforms in Europe and raise public attention for issues surrounding the topic. ARCHIVIA believes, that archives will have a key importance for future mediation and preservation as well as of the support of diverse cultural heritage in Europe.
