On 12th October, within the framework of the Frankfurt Bookfair, CEPIC and EVA addressed the issue of Orphan Works.

Cultural heritage institutions scan and digitize their collections to give access to the public. A growing number of images is concerned. Prior authorization is needed but not all rights holders can be tracked.

The legal back ground was explained by prof. Dr. Dreier (KIT). The ARROW tool, a network supporting the search, was demonstrated by Paola Mazzuchi (ARROW).

The CEPIC presentation which outlines CEPIC's position on Arrow Plus may be downloaded here.
