Case Study: The British Library achieves faster digital rights management with NewRedo

The British Library clears a 170 million-item rights backlog with NewRedo

The British Library, the national library of the United Kingdom, required sophisticated digital rights management software to efficiently manage the complex and frequently changing rights for its vast collection of 170 million items. This challenge was essential to ensure legal compliance and provide access to its users. NewRedo was engaged to deliver a solution.

NewRedo designed and built a series of web-based management tools that allowed library staff to inspect individual records and perform bulk changes to rights information. This solution enabled staff to clear a significant backlog of catalogue changes and ingest certain media types, like conference publications, at a previously impossible rate. The digital rights management software delivered by NewRedo has been immensely important to the library's ongoing operations.
