Extended Collective Licensing and Archives
Extended Collective Licensing and Archives is a scholarly work, published in 2017 in ''Journal of Archival Organization''. The main subjects of the publication include digital library, business, computer security, political science, column, World Wide Web, digital piracy, collective memory, archival science, and computer science. While extended collective licensing (ECL) is seen by many to be the solution to the use of copyright-protected works in the digital environment, this column critically examines the extent to which ECL applies to the holdings of archival institutions, and concludes that archival holdings and ECL are not a good match.
