Copyright Literacy in Spanish Libraries, Archives and Museums

Copyright literacy in Spanish librarians, archivists, documentalists and directors of museums was studied by a web survey as part of multinational research originating from a project funded by the National Science Fund of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science on “Copyright Policy of Libraries and Other Cultural Institutions”. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions, opinions and knowledge of those information professionals with various aspects of copyright and intellectual property, as well as, the need for copyright education. For this study we received a total of 325 responses, 225 of which were completely filled out. This study is the first of its kind in Spain and the results will be compared with those obtained in other countries.
