It is important to maintain a balance between respecting the rights of authors and meeting the needs of society.The author analyzed studies related to the problem of observing the rights of authors when organizing information in electronic resources. It was found that some points related to the use of scientific and technical information in electronic resources of organizations require more detailed consideration regarding com-pliance with the law.The aim of the study is to develop an algorithm for systematizing scientific and tech-nical information in electronic databases of organizations.It was found that when systematizing scientific and technical information in electronic databases of organizations, four main areas of activity using electronic resources can be distinguished, in which issues of copyright compliance are the most controversial:- collection, use and storage of electronic documents;- use of information received from the Internet and other computer networks;- digitization of documents by the organization itself to create backups or for use of documents by electronic document delivery services;- copying of documents from databases, optical disks and other electronic media.Unfortunately, by simply scanning the necessary publications and placing electronic copies of documents on their network to provide readers with access to them, organizations, in particular libraries, violate the law three times: 1) placing a work on its network without the consent of the copyright holders, because the reproduction of any copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright holders is a violation of copyright; 2) providing readers with access to them; 3) transferring documents in electronic form via networks without mak-ing payments to authors.A detailed analysis of the use of scientific and technical information by organizations, consideration and study of current legislation made it possible to develop an algorithm for systematizing scientific and technical information in electronic databases. The library is considered as an organization that systematizes scientific and technical information.The first part of the algorithm points to the traditional ways of using scientific and technical information as objects of copyright and ways of using it for systematization in electronic databases. The algorithm shows work in three directions:1. Formation and preservation of objects of copyright, that is, the formation of the li-brary fund.2. Providing information in the traditional way and through systematization in electronic databases.3. When creating electronic resources, libraries widely use the works of authors.When librarians create databases, they should be mindful of copyrights and act in ac-cordance with applicable laws. When creating electronic resources, the Regulation of the Library is developed, which regulates the basic principles of the formation and use of electronic resources.All three directions of using objects of copyright must be accompanied by copyright agreements.The last part of the algorithm indicates what measures will be taken if the libraries do not comply with the provisions of the copyright agreement and current legislation.The developed algorithm for systematizing scientific and technical information in elec-tronic databases allows organizations to place objects of copyright in the developed electronic databases without violating the rights of authors.

PurposeThis paper aims to describe the development and current situation of electronic document delivery by public libraries in Germany, taking into account the impact of the changing regulatory framework of German copyright law and the consequences of law suits against libraries and Subito.Design/methodology/approachThe paper describes the current situation. Also, the new licensing strategy of the Subito delivery service and the national licensing strategy for electronic media of German libraries and the German Research foundation come into focusFindingsThe negative development of copyright law posed a new challenge for document delivery services in Germany since the statutory licence in German copyright law no longer covers electronic document delivery provided by Subito and other library document delivery services. Licence agreements with publishers or intermediaries such as copyright clearance centres are now necessary to allow delivery of electronic documents. These negotiations have proven to be very complex and controversial, but now a complicated framework of licence agreements has been concluded and will enable German libraries to generally provide electronic documents in the future. DRM‐systems, however, still are a challenge for customers and the delivery service.Practical implicationsDemand of delivery services has decreased and may decrease even more in the long run due to availability and direct accessibility of electronic documents, together with the national licensing program in Germany.Originality/valueThe paper provides a concise summary and gives an impression of the development of document delivery services of German libraries between 2003 and 2008 with special reference to the legal position and changes to German copyright law.

Abstract The growth of the Internet over the past four years provides the failure analyst with a new media for communicating his results. The new digital media offers significant advantages over analog publication of results. Digital production, distribution and storage of failure analysis results reduces copying costs and paper storage, and enhances the ability to search through old analyses. When published digitally, results reach the customer within minutes of finishing the report. Furthermore, images on the computer screen can be of significantly higher quality than images reproduced on paper. The advantages of the digital medium come at a price, however. Research has shown that employees can become less productive when replacing their analog methodologies with digital methodologies. Today's feature-filled software encourages "futzing," one cause of the productivity reduction. In addition, the quality of the images and ability to search the text can be compromised if the software or the analyst does not understand this digital medium. This paper describes a system that offers complete digital production, distribution and storage of failure analysis reports on the Internet. By design, this system reduces the futzing factor, enhances the ability to search the reports, and optimizes images for display on computer monitors. Because photographic images are so important to failure analysis, some digital image optimization theory is reviewed.
