Orphan works: due diligence prior to copying

["M. Claire Stewart" <claire-stewart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

This question has come up twice in different contexts over the past 
month, so I thought I'd ask the list:

I'm looking for a set of procedures that a library would follow in 
attempting to secure permission to copy before making a decision that 
the work is likely an orphan. Does anyone have anything to recommend? 
I'm already aware of Denise Troll Covey's excellent CLIR publication 
on securing permissions for digitizing books, but would love to have 
other examples, articles, etc.

With thanks,
Claire
