Under Intellectual propery law, copyright is defined as a legal right that is possessed by a person who invented something or
created something. To elaborate, when a person creates or invents a unique or new product then that product is considered as the
original product and the person will become the original owner of the product by acquiring legal rights on the product. For
example, any creations in matters of poetry, novels, yrics regarding music, software products regarding computers, filming, art,
original designs regarding architecture, literature, etc. Further, copyright is preserved and safeguarded without getting the original
work to be used by others. Copyright is one of the branches of Intellectual Property Rights that grants the creator an exclusive
legal right over his work. A  creator or owner has legal rights to financial and other rewards linked with the creation. Violations
of copyright laws could result in a variety of legal penalties. On the other hand, the law allows libraries to utilize copyrighted
material for researching and scholary purposes without the copyrght owner's permission. Furthermore, the copyright statute
makes any breach or infringement of fair use of library resources unlanful. Initially, the article mentions the general exceptions
and limitations under copyright law. Later on, it focuses on exceptions and limitations in the context of libraries and archives
under Indian copyright law. Finally, it mentions some agreements and conventions regarding exceptions and limitations under
copyright law with an internationalperspective.
