<p>Have you used the <a href="https://publicrecords.copyright.gov/">Copyright Public Records System</a> (CPRS) pilot to power your copyright public records searches? Now is the time to try, ahead of the summer 2025 decommissioning of the legacy system that supports the existing Copyright Office Online Public Catalog. CPRS will become the sole source of authoritative online copyright information on registrations and recordations by the end of June 2025.</p>
<p>Whether you’re a novice or an experienced user, the U.S. Copyright Office invites you to <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/events/copyright-public-records-system/?loclr=eanco" rel="noopener" target="_blank">register</a> for the upcoming webinar, How to Effectively Use the Copyright Public Records System, on May 8, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. eastern time. This sixty-minute webinar will highlight CPRS’s modern interface and features that can help users locate copyright public records successfully. Participants will walk away knowing how to use CPRS’s simple and advanced search capabilities, which include flexible formatting; dynamic filters; and the ability to download, email, and share records. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers. CPRS is the second component to be made publicly available as part of the Office’s new <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/continuous-development/?loclr=eanco" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Enterprise Copyright System (ECS)</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Time:</strong> May 8, 2025, 2:00 p.m. eastern time; <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/events/copyright-public-records-system/?loclr=eanco" rel="noopener" target="_blank">register to attend</a></p>
<p><strong>Speakers:</strong></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<li>
<strong>Denise Wofford</strong>, Assistant Register and Director, Office of Copyright Records, U.S. Copyright Office</li>
<li>
<strong>Shawn Gallagher</strong>, Management and Program Analyst, Office of Copyright Records, U.S. Copyright Office</li>
<li>
<strong>Robin Coreas</strong>, Program Analyst, Office of Copyright Records, U.S. Copyright Office</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the December 2020 release of the CPRS pilot, the Office, in partnership with the Library of Congress, has continuously improved CPRS’s search capabilities and interfaces in response to public feedback. CPRS not only includes recordation and registration information, as in the existing Public Catalog, but also now includes searchable metadata for over 3.5 million registration applications from 1909 to 1945.</p>
<p>The Office encourages you to access the CPRS pilot at <a href="https://publicrecords.copyright.gov/">publicrecords.copyright.gov</a> and provide feedback on your experience using the feedback link at the bottom of the page.</p>
