How to find out if a book in protected by copyright

Subject: Re: How to find out if a book in protected by copyright

Comments:
: I am involved in a project for degitizing books and making them available freely on the Internet. My understanding is that books published in the US prior to 1923 are now in the public domain. : 1) Are there resourses that explain -- to a layman -- the international aspects of copyright? : 2) Is there a simple guide out there from which one -- again a layman -- can determine if a specific work has entered the public domain. : Many thanks for anyone who can help. : George Kiraz
