| Abstract: | The purpose of this study is to determine whether the type of copyright license under which grey multimedia materials are published makes a difference in terms of their inclusion in library catalogs. The two types of copyright licenses examined are Creative Commons and traditional copyright, and the library catalogs examined is that of the United States Library of Congress and national catalogs of countries represented in the population of the study. The population included grey multimedia materials whose main use is as educational materials, with half the items licensed under traditional copyright license and half licensed under Creative Commons license. The main finding of the study is that Creative Commons license is a barrier to access in traditional bibliographic utilities, and that traditional copyright is a barrier to access in web 2.0 environments. In addition, the study found weak enforcement of legal deposit laws regarding multimedia materials. |
