Apologies for what is probably not a group related topic,
though it is technically related I suppose. The Library of
Congress copyright records. I assume that some of you, as
authors or publishers, have had to send in information for
your work to be listed. My question is, does a book have to
be published, or be in the process of being published, for a
copyright entry to be made? Just that I was doing some
checking in the records, and came across various author and
title entries for works which do not seem to exist outside a
copyright entry. So, allowing for pseudonyms, pre-publication
titles etc, can there be a copyright entry for a work which
is never actually published? I would appreciate the views of
anyone who has been involved with the LOC copyright.
Many thanks John
