Abstract

Copyright is in essence terribly simple, but in application it can be extremely complex. This article considers what copyright is and how it applies to the materials handled by art librarians in the UK. Copyright is further complicated by perpetual change: there have been repeated reviews of copyright in the UK in recent years, the EU has issued eight directives to harmonise copyright and international bodies have come up with four different principal treaties. The article looks forward to further change around the corner.
