Copyright Review Management System - IMLS National Leadership
GrantIn 2008, the University of Michigan Library was awarded a National Leadership Grant from the
Institute of Museum and Library Services to create a Copyright Review Management System
(CRMS).

CRMS
The purpose of the project is to increase the reliability of copyright status determinations of books published in the United States from 1923 to 1963 in the HathiTrust Digital Library, and to help create a point of collaboration with other institutions.

CRMSAs of November 1, 2011, 170,174 volumes have
been reviewed for copyright status. Of those volumes, almost 87,000 volumes (approximately 51%) have been determined to be in the public domain and are now available as full text in the
HathiTrust Digital Library.

Expanding CRMS
CRMS grant ended December 2011 Still a substantial body of works to examine International works remained
Expanding CRMS: Solution
Submit an IMLS National Leadership Grant proposal to do 2 things: Continue the CRMS project Expand the CRMS project into international works
Second CRMS Grant
Awarded by IMLS to continue US deteminations and to expand into international determinations
Focuses on identifying and recruiting partners to work with us
Scope
3 year grant Goal is to finish the current CRMS-US reviews Finish reviewing the 170,000 Australian,
Canadian, and British books in our system.
Project Overview
While continuing to review US works published from 1923-1963, we will expand into international works published from 1870-1941
To assist in this, we are developing training tools and a review system to facilitate reliable and efficient reviewing
Project Goals
Finish the US 23-63 reviews Finish the 170,000 international reviews Develop national and international partners Produce a review system and methodological
approach that others can adapt and adopt
Specifics: Review Process
Using jurisdiction specific review tools, identify the death date of the author(s) of a given work
Append that date to the catalog record for each work published by the author
Specifics: Review Process
Identify country of publication Search the work for “inserts,” that is, content by
another author that may still be under copyright protection
If the death date of the author is outside the term of years for a given publication then append a PD-(JD) note to the record
Complications: Term Calculation
Terms of protection are not calculated uniformly Many works will be PD-US but not PD in the
country of origin and vice-versa We do not currently have the capacity to make
a work available in the country of origin and not the US, so such works will remain closed
Conclusions
Vast body of public domain works in our collections; we just don't know what they are
Mass scale determinations require efficient review processes
Multi-institution participation increased visibility, legitimacy, and effectiveness of the project
