Copyright Watch: an online resource Electronic Information for Libraries (eIFL.net) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) are pleased to be the founding partners for "Copyright Watch: an online resource", a collaborative effort to build a central, publicly accessible, online collection of national copyright laws and related documents.

There is no single resource that is current or comprehensive, and locating up-to-date laws can be time consuming. A single portal providing public access to an indexed repository of current and draft laws, as well as amendments, will be a valuable new tool for anyone engaged in copyright and information policy analysis. The work will focus initially on gathering, uploading and indexing the laws. The online space will be sustained by a network of global partners and contributors.
