The first public module within the Library of Congress’ new Enterprise Copyright System launched Aug. 1 and lays the foundation for future components intended to support its entire copyright services ecosystem.
Launching the first module, which is known as the Copyright Recordation System (CRS), was the first step in improving and integrating all of the Copyright Office’s technology systems — which also handle copyright registration, public records and internal licensing — into a platform called the Enterprise Copyright System (ECS).
The office is tasked with maintaining records of copyright registration in the U.S., and for more than two years its Office of the Chief Information Officer has worked to replace paper-based processing of copyright ownership transfer requests with a digital submission process.
