Searches at the Library of Congress
- The Copyright Office is
pilot testing a new user interface for its three databases: registered
works, serials, and documents. The Office's Telnet system, LOCIS,
will still be available, but this site should help novices search for
copyrights more effectively. Online information includes works registered
since 1978; records and index terms are added each week. Users can search
a variety of fields depending on what database they are accessing. Results
include information such as author, title, claimant, dates of registration,
ISBN or ISSN, and more. Pilot testers may report problems and suggestions
for improvements by email to copyweb@loc.gov.
