Copyright Issues
About
The Subcommittee on Copyright Issues formed as a working group in April 2003 and became an official subcommittee in June 2005. We provide general support on copyright issues for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian materials being used in the United States by librarians, scholars, and educators. The subcommittee serves as a resource for copyright information, promotes ongoing study of copyright developments, and provides non-legal assistance with copyright questions. If you have a copyright query, please contact Janice Pilch, chair of the subcommittee, at janice.pilch@rutgers.edu, or any other subcommittee member.
