New Resource - Launch of the 'Copyright Cortex'

This online resource is dedicated to copyright and digital cultural heritage and provides "information and expert commentary on how copyright law affects the creation and management of digital cultural heritage."

Professor Ronan Deazley of Queen’s University Belfast and CREATe postgraduate researchers Victoria Stobo and Andrea Wallace launched the Copyright Cortex particularly for museums, libraries, archives and other memory institutions.

More studies and resources will be added over the coming months to the website's current beta version. In a <link http: www.create.ac.uk blog copyright-cortex-british-library external-link-new-window external link in new>blog post on CREATe, Victoria Stobo, described two features of the website:
