Steps for cleaning copyright on old books and magazines (part 3)

1. Check Renewals page for date of renewal.
2. Search Contento index and isfdb.org for first publication info.
3. For items first published 1952 or later Search copyright.gov.
4. For items first published in 1948 or before search the Gutenberg 11800 site.
5. For items first published 1949-1951, search both copyright.gov and 11800 above. You must clear ALL copyright dates for a given publication.
6. Another option is to confirm copyright dates at the Stanford list. This list only contains A records, not the B records for copyrights. And it only includes original registrations 1923 or later.
