The medien@age library in Dresden has courageously embraced this change - and has scored points with its target audience along the way. http://www.goethe.de/kug/mui/bib/thm/en139876.htm Information Services in Germany Unlike in the Anglo-American countries, information services in libraries in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century initially referred mainly to literary information and less to factual information.For two decades now ever more people in Germany have been asking questions about facts to the information sectors of libraries. Today, highly specialised information teams in the field of general information who have many databases for literature and factual information at their disposal can increasingly be found in the academic and large public libraries. http://www.goethe.de/kug/mui/ask/ein/en21811.htm vascoda - the Internet Portal for Scientific Information Being able to access the information lying dormant on the shelves of German libraries with a click of the mouse and download it onto your computer with another click - this is a vision that has just moved one step closer to becoming reality. Since August 2003 the interdisciplinary Internet portal vascoda has been providing access to 37 German libraries, research institutes and information providers. http://www.goethe.de/kug/mui/bib/thm/en69733.htm - Literary Projects Litrix.de - German Literature Online Since January 2004, excerpts from outstanding new publications, specimen translations and the latest information on the German book market are available from the online magazine Litrix.de. The magazine is aimed at an international audience and is a major part of a project promoting contemporary German literature abroad. Project partners are the Federal Cultural Foundation, the Goethe-Institut and the Frankfurt Book Fair. www.litrix.de - Author in Focus Portrait of Cornelia Funke Cornelia Funke is currently the most successful German author of books for young people. She was born in 1958 and has sold a million copies of her books for young people and children. She has been compared internationally with JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. In September 2003 her book "Tintenherz" was released. http://www.goethe.de/in/d/film/e/kubus-e-59-1-f.html - Bibliophile's Corner Lexikon der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur - Revised Germany, the "land of poets and thinkers", has brought forth a great number of writers since time immemorial. So it isn't easy keeping track, especially of the latest names. A newly revised encyclopaedia has arrived to help out. http://www.goethe.de/kug/kue/lit/thm/en96421.htmEncyclopaedia only in German language. Where the Good Guys Still Win German detective stories about FBI agent Jerry Cotton have been an international hit for 50 years. "His leap was an act of desperation, the insane reaction of a cornered killer who has nothing left to lose. He dove smack into the line of fire of my revolver. I had released the safety: all I had to do was pull the trigger. But I chose not to: I have a deep-seated aversion to shooting an unarmed man." http://www.goethe.de/kug/mui/buv/thm/en91801.htm "The Wild East" - Young East German authors look back By contrast with the young West Germans who accommodated themselves with Helmut Kohl perfectly well for eight years after the Berlin Wall came down and watched, relaxed and uninterested, as the so-called "Berlin Republic" decayed into "Berlin provinciality", the East Germans of the same age, who have been largely speechless until now, have suddenly appeared from nowhere and are now publishing one book after another. http://www.goethe.de/kug/kue/lit/thm/en72032.htm To unsubscribe from the mailing list, please click here: mailto:online.editor.mmb@delhi.goethe.org?body=unsubscribe

scanning books and copyright laws
by Byrappa, Ananda (Research) 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Anuradha, Copyright law does not allow you to scan the books even for academic and research purpose. You need to take written permission from the publisher/copyright holder to digitize any book. Its unlikely that you get a permission from them. As an alternative, you may want to consider online books like knovel, netlibrary, e-brary, 24/7 etc for subscription. Again they may not fill your requirements as these e-book models are still evolving (slowly!) There are security methods to control accessing digital documents. For example, British Library(BL), London is recently started using 'secured document delivery' method for their electronic document delivery service. Which allows end users to access the document only one time. You may wish to visit BL website for more details Regards, Anand ________________________________________ Ananda T.
