On the Experience of Digital Conversion of Cordel Collections at Atila Almeida Library of the Universidade Estadual da Paraíba
Keywords:
Digital conversion. Copyright. Cordel. Library Atila Almeida.Abstract
Cordel Literature is a good choice for digital conversion due to its’ size and pamphlet format, as well as the impermanence of the paper used. Conversion addresses both preservation and access. Many libraries in Brazil are converting their Cordel collections to digital form, yet issues of copyright are limiting those endeavors. In many cases, ‘ownership’ of a Cordel is not clear. Is it shared by the poet, woodcut artist & publisher equally. This summarizes the digital conversion efforts in Brazil, while focusing on one library’s attempts to overcome the challenges of copyright clearance.Downloads
