Sharing Digital Content Through International Museum, Library, and Archives Networks Today: An IMLS Examination of Copyright's Implications

IMLS is the primary source of federal funding for our Nation's museums, libraries, and archives. The agency plays a pivotal role in supporting the delivery of museum, library, and information services through both domestic and international networks. In addition to providing funding through its grant programs for a wide variety of learning, community engagement, collections care, and other innovative projects, IMLS conducts and publishes research reports, studies trends, as well as convenes dialogues with community stakeholders.

IMLS is currently exploring how museums and libraries have navigated copyright and other related issues associated with cross-border projects and developed resources and tools to support other institutions in addressing similar issues. General Counsel Nancy E. Weiss will provide an update on what the agency has learned to date.
