Digital rights management: A librarian's guide to technology and practice

Journal Title: Webology - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 4

Abstract

With Digital rights management … Grace Agnew needs to be congratulated with an excellent, thorough guide for the practitioner dealing with the realities and complexities of digital rights management (DRM). The tone for a discussion reflecting sound academic awareness and a sensitivity for the needs of practitioners is set by her remark that "An effective DRM strategy will clearly identify and safeguard any rights that the organization has decided to manage, including, of course, those rights that are mandated by law" (p. 7).
