Improved Copyright Searching System to Debut about October 1, 2005

An improved copyright searching system called eCO Search will be available on the Copyright Office website about October 1, 2005. eCO Search offers new features, including keyword searching and the use of a single database containing records since 1978 for monographs, serials, and recorded documents. All the approximately 20 million records for registrations and recorded documents in the current system will be migrated to the new eCO Search database, which is a search system similar to that used by other parts of the Library of Congress. Watch for additional information, instructions for using eCO Search, and the exact date the switch to eCO Search will be made. (Read further information.)
