WorldCat Copyright Evidence Registry
OCLC is conducting a beta test of the WorldCat Copyright Evidence Registry.
The WorldCat Copyright Evidence Registry (CER) is a community of people, libraries, and other organizations working together to discover and share information about the copyright status of books.
The Copyright Evidence Registry is based on WorldCat, which contains more than 100 million bibliographic records describing items held in thousands of libraries worldwide. In addition to the WorldCat metadata, the Copyright Evidence Registry uses data contributed by libraries and other organizations.
You can search the Copyright Evidence Registry to find information about a book, learn what others have said about its copyright status, and share what you know.
If your library or organization is a Copyright Evidence Registry subscriber, you can run automated copyright rules that you create in the Copyright Evidence Registry to conform to your standards for determining copyright status. The rules help you analyze the information available in the Copyright Evidence Registry and form your own conclusions about copyright status.
Also, you can receive an e-mail notification when information about a book changes within the Copyright Evidence Registry.
