Authored by Laura N. Gasaway, Paul B. Eaton Distinguished Professor of Law Emerita, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and edited by Iris L.

Through a period of phenomenal change and challenge, she has helped transform CCC's licensing solutions to meet the needs of today's digital publishing world.  Tracey works with publishers, authors, universities, businesses and industry associations around the world, addressing copyright concerns and establishing new alliances.

Tracey Armstrong offered the following commentary: "The transition to a digital culture has led to an abundance of published material which may be licensed for a wide variety of re-uses. Such a wealth of content often presents a daunting business challenge for publishers looking to protect intellectual property and develop successful licensing business models. Small companies in the publishing and information industries in particular will find great value in the experienced counsel Professor Gasaway provides in this Pocket Copyright Guide for Publishers."

Iris L. Hanney, Unlimited Priorities president, responded, "Knowledge of copyright law is increasingly important as it affects all aspects of publishing and research.  This has become apparent during our work with both publishers and libraries.  This Guide will provide answers to the questions being raised in an ever more complex area in easy to understand language.  With her wealth of copyright experience Tracey was the ideal person to provide the foreword to the Guide, and we are deeply appreciative of her contribution and support."
