I would like to know what recorded sound collections are doing presently in
terms of digitizing unpublished audio materials for inclusion in web based
educational presentations.

The use that I have been ask about is the possibility of a library consortium
including excerpts of traditional music field recordings to illustrate differing
instrumental and vocal styles.


I would be particularly interested in knowing how issues of copyright /
permission to use are being addressed, especially when the performer is unknown,
deceased. or in cases of group performances such as a worship service.
Generally, are collection administrators finding leeway to mount such efforts in
the Library Exemptions and Fair Use provisions of the U.S. Copyricht Act?
