COPYRIGHT OFFICE READY FOR Y2K
The Copyright Office has been collaborating with Library of Congress
technical staff to test, modify, and upgrade all the information
systems to ensure that these systems will perform correctly on and
after January 1, 2000. Most of the work needed to accomplish this
objective has already been completed and the remainder will be
completed well before the end of this calendar year. The Copyright
Office will be ready to accept and process your requests for copyright
registration, document recordation, and all other services.
