ABSTRACT
The sole aim of this study was to identify the place of copyright law in book publication
for library use, and it was identified that book publication has become an essential
attribute of modern information, with copyright remaining the most significant part of
it. The aim of copyright law is to guarantee an author's monopoly right of control and
ownership of the published material. Publishing is also undertaken by governments,
civil societies, and private companies for administrative or compliance requirements,
business, research, advocacy, or public interest objectives. In the work it was
summarized that the aim and place of copyright law in book publication for library use
has been in place for nearly 200 years. Book publication has become an essential
attribute of modern information. One of the recommendations made in the paper was
that literary industries should create more awareness among the general public about
the negative implications of piracy (plagiarism).
