11. 11 Case Study: Registration Both the eCO Online System and the PDF form (TX for literary works) are very straightforward. I was impressed in how intuitive the forms are and easy to understand. In addition, the Electronic Copyright Office does a great job providing detailed FAQs, tutorials, instructions, and processing times. They appear to provide all the answers to anticipated inquiries. I definitely would not hesitate to register any of my work, due to fear of legal terminology. - Andrea

13. 13 Policy for TP Content Our policy would be that the authors themselves would be responsible for securing the permissions, which would need to cover global rights and reproduction in multiple formats (e.g. print and electronic). Of course we would, to the extent possible, provide in-house support for our authors: both "how-to" guides, boilerplate permissions agreements, and staff guidance. There is an excellent opportunity here for some base-level copyright education for our authors. Gregg What is your policy?

14. 14 Take it or leave it…(publisher to author) Meet in person Ask to speak directly with lawyer to explain situation The best approach is to be open and honest. If they will not negotiate, and you truly cannot live with that clause, then you will need to end your relationship with that publisher. - Marie
