The model of public lending right in Croatian libraries
Vesna Radičević
Abstract
With an aim to harmonize the relationships in the field of European Union legislation, a new Law on Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Rights was passed in Croatia at the end of 2003. This law introduced new provisions regarding the institution of public lending right, thus determining the rights of authors, phonogram manufacturers, performing artists and film producers to lend their work by means of public libraries. This paper researches the extent to which the provisions of the new law on copyright and other intellectual property rights might affect the business activities of Croatian libraries and proposes a model of public lending right appropriate for the working conditions in Croatian libraries.
