ALA Publishes Report on U.S. Copyright Office

Law Librarian Blog’s Joe Hodnicki shared a report from ALA: “Lessons From History: The Copyright Office Belongs in the Library of Congress.” He writes, “Currently the Register of Copyrights is appointed by the Librarian of Congress. For several years this administrative arrangement has caught the attention of members of Congress because, in 2015, the GAO identified the Copyright Office’s shortcomings in terms of the inability of the Library of Congress to support and [manage] the IT needs of the Office. … That would change if H.R. 1695, Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act of 2017, passes.”
