As of now, NDLI has procured those books that did not have copyright issues; books whose rights were shared with NDLI by various stakeholders or those that could be partially made available but requires authorisation for complete access.
NDLI has collaborated with @ Copyrights issues of Digital Libraries
· Rightsstatements.org which has drafted 12 standardised statements on digital cultural heritage to overcome challenges of digital rights. Europeana Foundation, an organisation tasked with developing a digital cultural heritage platform for Europe.
NDLI, said, “As of now, India has two representatives on the international steering committee that deals with copyrights issues of digital libraries. This will allow us to put our inputs on the issue and help in policymaking on digital rights of intellectual property.
Soon, the homepage of rightsstatements.org could be read in Hindi and the statements will be available in Hindi and Bengali. The purpose of translating these international documents into regional languages is to improve their access and understanding among local librarians.”
The NDLI website had to be temporarily shut down after several books sourced from the Digital Library of India attracted notices of alleged breaches of copyright. NDLI also received rights violations notices from its European partners which were duly addressed.
