Editing Preservation Support (section)

== Preservation Rights Declaration ==

An issue raised by the British Library, a partner acting as a prospective preservation service provider in the Preserv project, is that it needs appropriate permissions to handle materials for preservation purposes. With this in mind a 'license' option has been added to the EPrints deposit process allowing the depositing user to provide an explicit license for access to their deposited materials (Figures 5 and 6). Based on [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons], these licenses have been included in the EPrints v3 beta version. If an explicit license is required for preservation purposes (e.g. the right of a third party to store and act on the material, e.g. perform migration, etc.) this can easily be included.
