Denise Nicholson (Copyright Services Librarian, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg) is no stranger to this weblog, having provided numerous leads and tip-offs (or should that be tips-off?) in the past. Now she asks a question and it would be good if we could help her. She asks:
"Is there by any chance a list of Copyright Offices in Africa, or at least the contact details of some of them? I would like to add this to my Copyright Libguide which you can find here".
Come on, readers, can you help? If there isn't a list already, we should compile one, building on Kingsley Egbuonu's work on the A to Z project which this blog is pleased to host each Monday.

Write commentsThere are world lists, which just need the non-African countries to be deleted. (Goodbye Tajikistan.)

You can find a global list at http://www.wipo.int/directory/en/urls.jsp from which you may extract the African countries.
