I believe the manual says that you should use the latest copyright, and 
since she did it, she is the copyright holder.  I think I'm right about it, 
but does anyone else know for sure?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Copyright question


I know there have been many discussions on this list about copyright
problems and I'm hoping this has come up before and someone has an answer.

I have nearly finished Midnight Moon by Dorothy Lyons, but I have a
copyright question about it.  It has a copyright page, but that only has
the date and the publisher.  That could well be the correct copyright
information for 1941.  But I thought I'd check whether any other
copyright information was available online.  Sure enough, I found that
the author, not the publisher renewed the copyright in 1968.  So, when
filling in the metadata page on bookshare, should I use 1941 and the
publisher, 1968 and the author, or maybe 1941 and the author?  If the
author had been listed on the copyright page in the book, I wouldn't
have bothered to look anything up and if say a relative had renewed the
copyright, I'd never know, so I'd have no reason to question it.  But I
just hate to put down the publisher when I now know the author, not the
publisher renewed the copyright.

Also, this led me to find a potential new resource for checking
copyrights.  In Google books there is a whole series (I don't know how
many years), called Catalog of Copyright Renewal Records for [some year
such as 1968].

And finally, just to keep the number of posts down on the list, I will
add here, I can't see why there should be a limit on posts by any person
as long as they are on topic posts.  Especially in Jamie's case where
they are not only on topic, but about work being done.
