Dear Harry,we are presently in the process of identifying an appropriate
system to archive and make accessible a large collection of Ghanaian
Highlife and Traditional Music to Researchers as web based educational
presentations.We would be interested in becoming partners in what you are
enquiring about .

I would like to know what recorded sound collections are doing presently
in
terms of digitizing unpublished audio materials for inclusion in web based
educational presentations.
The use that I have been ask about is the possibility of a library
consortium
including excerpts of traditional music field recordings to illustrate
differing
instrumental and vocal styles.
I would be particularly interested in knowing how issues of copyright /
permission to use are being addressed, especially when the performer is
unknown,
deceased. or in cases of group performances such as a worship service.
Generally, are collection administrators finding leeway to mount such
efforts in
the Library Exemptions and Fair Use provisions of the U.S. Copyricht Act?
