Abstract
In recent years, there have been considerable developments in both international and national laws relating to copyright, as governments struggle to come to terms with developments in technology. Libraries, too, are attempting to find appropriate ways of managing the rights in electronic materials. This paper, based on research visits made to the United Kingdom in 2001, explores some of the electronic rights management systems and solutions being developed in British libraries.
