Copyright for Archivists: And Users of Archives
Description
As an archivist or records manager, it is essential to keep up to date with the complexities of copyright legislation, and ""Copyright for Archivists and Records Managers"" will prove an invaluable tool in enabling you to do so. What is copyright? Who owns it and for how long? What rights does it confer, and what are the limitations and exceptions? This comprehensive manual uniquely outlines copyright law in the UK with special reference to materials relevant to archive and records collections, notably unpublished works. It also offers advice on rights in the electronic environment and the problems associated with rights clearance; and covers related areas such as moral rights and rights in databases. This classic text has been substantially revised to take account of numerous changes in the law through secondary legislation and court judgments. The text makes extensive use of case law to clarify the meaning of statutes, and provides worked examples based on real-life enquiries. Notable areas of recent change include: originality, in particular in new editions of old works; international copyright and qualification by country of origin; university staff, academics and students; Crown and Parliamentary copyright, and public sector information; licences, assignments and contracts; 'orphan' works; exhibition; electronic signatures and declaration forms; records management; digital rights management systems; magistrates' courts; Ordnance Survey maps; electoral registers; databases; and performers' and artists' rights, registered designs and privacy. Readable and accessible for people without legal training, this approachable guide is essential reading for archivists and records managers. It will also be of substantial value to LIS professionals in libraries, museums and galleries, to students, researchers and genealogists, and to anyone who wishes to understand the implications of copying without recourse to legal texts.

Bibliography
This important book provides a fascinating insight into the conceptual underpinnings of the theory of plantation economy, initiated by Lloyd Best and Kari Levitt in the 1960s, as a basis for analysing the nature of the Caribbean economy. While acknowledging an intellectual debt to Latin American structuralists Raul Prebisch, Celso Furtado and Osvaldo Sunkel, and also to the work of Dudley Seers and William Demas, the authors develop an original and innovative analytical framework as a counter to more 'universalist' models which failed to take account of the Caribbean reality. Their work identifies the main features of the plantation economy as a hinterland characterised by subordination and dependency on the dominant metropole.
Distinguishing between hinterlands of conquest, settlement and exploitation, Best and Levitt analyse the rules that determine this complex relationship with the metropole. Their economic theories are presented against a background of the historical factors that gave rise to the 'structural continuity' of Caribbean economies and which now impede meaningful structural transformation.

Description
This is a textbook designed for undergraduate and graduate students and is the result of the author's more than twenty years of involvement with econometrics as both teacher and researcher. It contains theory, problems and answers, many of which have already been tested extensively in classrooms and tutorials and then refined for the book. It includes the following topics: single equation regressions, dummy and limited dependent variable models, simultaneous equations models, dynamic regression models, unit roots, cointegration and error correction models, aggregation over time issues, forecasting and panel data models. The book does not attempt to duplicate the many standard econometrics books. Rather, it supplements them by focusing exclusively on theoretical and empirical exercises in a systematic way. In this respect, the book has four innovations. First, it develops theoretical exercises useful in interpreting empirical results. Second, the book contains essay questions related to important econometric issues. Third, at times it deals with questions with no clear cut answers. Fourth, its development of aggregation over time issues is almost unique in econometrics textbooks. Although much of the material has a Caribbean flavour, its rigorous and clear presentation will appeal to students and teachers worldwide.
