The public domain titles are not copyrighted and NetLibrary does not treat these in the same way as copyrighted titles. Public domain titles are either books that are no longer copyrighted because the copyright has expired, or books published to be in the public domain such as some of the titles published by the University of Virginia. However, an important piece of information for libraries: the usage of these titles is not captured in the usage statistics of the Library Resource Center.
