how do you do a search for works published before 1978? at the LOC site i could find a search facility only for works published after 1978. i would like to get copyright info for other works by lasker.
The Catalog of Copyright entries has most of the pre-1978 data. PG has the books renewals section transcribed. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/11800 For things other than books, to include contributions to periodicals the online books page has some more. http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books/cce/ If they don't have it, you have to go to a deposit library and look it up on paper, or pay a fee to the Library of Congress to have them do a search. (There are others that will do a search for a fee as well)4 -- Greg Weeks http://durendal.org:8080/greg/
