Implications
• Scope and exemptions Museums, libraries and archives in the public sector Out of scope – third party rights, personal information
• Charging Costs of collection, production, reproduction, dissemination,
preservation and rights clearance, together with a reasonable return on investment
• Exclusive arrangements Some flexibility, especially for partnerships on a digitisation project
___________________________
A framework to bring museums, libraries and archives (including university libraries) within scope to release as much cultural material for re-use as possible without
imposing unnecessary burdens.
