I am working on a paper to be presented at the 2006 International Association of Sound Archives Conference entitled "Preservation and Peril, Access and Availability: The Impact of US Copyright Law on Audio Archives." The paper will explore the challenges faced by archivists, librarians, audio engineers, and curators in preserving and providing access to audio material as related to their experience with, understanding of, and concerns over copyright law. If you have any responsibility for audio materials in your collections, I would appreciate your response to a brief 26 question survey exploring the impact of US Copyright Law on audio archives. It should take 7-15 minutes to complete. The survey can be found at: http://www.surveyshare.com/survey/take/?sid=39664 Thank you in advance for your responses.
