Abstract

The US Copyright Office has released the final report Libraries, Publishers and Photocopying, which describes in detail the volume and characteristics of photocopying and interlibrary loan in public, academic, federal and special libraries in the US. Also described are results of a survey of US publishers about their serial and book income and photocopying permission requests, as well as the results of personal interviews conducted with library users about their own photocopying done on library coin‐operated photocopying machines. The study, conducted under contract by King Research, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland, was designed to provide data as input to the US Copyright Office's five‐year review of the new US copyright law which took effect on January 1st, 1978. Copies of the final report ($25 in the US, $30 elsewhere) are available from King Research Inc., PO Box 71, Rockville, Md 20850, USA.
