How can the owner of a copyrighted piece be indentified?
Copyrighted notices in published pieces identify the owner at that time, which is found on the back of the title page in books. However, if you want to identify the specific owner for journal articles or older pieces, affiliation of the author may be helpful in locating the individual author, which is not in itself definite. LOCIS(Library of Congress Information System) provides registration information and recorded documents while web-based search systems will provided copyright information for registered works since January 1, 1978.
