       A story on the tragic results of the ill-advised lawsuit that publishers (including my own) won against @internetarchive. I’m among the 1,000 authors who signed a petition demanding that our books be available to libraries for lending.🎁 link: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/13/business/media/internet-archive-emergency-lending-library.html?unlocked_article_code=Th6Alz18iAbzYmP2WzRs2TBPptr6878WYSwvlAwe-8Cm_AkSt70KEU7zuabWZCXCiyavLy_cEjND8xXan_8mPN-aEjO1XMJUeuLLkvb-3LYilBQBXSHsFGQOGn24voUF5iXUecXolHHuuJPUbNiwKqaQfOhpLIN1wZ2xW9BdBsoz9Z6msSl3ot8KuJ8pf1AnvUiQEbhNmXWvII7Cxyc9-2fH4vSDGX-hz0Cv8OnzKdpWD4P7DxlhCa9tsEuXfhP30CoCDjRNAPaZCGn5rIQpx264lZcaxY2_-3lFo85gfhRIQU0c4AlziazU4Tc9o8D53wukiEz0J9ZGp_Wlmlt7MuMV1VCcojQp0DurYrxnu4IBf1G7Ky8H1Euiag&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Losing access to out-of-print books is the researchers’ and librarians’ nightmare. We often don’t even have the option to buy them…

       “In the past, the library would have cited fair use and provided scans to the students via secure software, but after the March court ruling, Mr. Stutzman said, it’s unclear what is allowed. One chapter? Two? How many students can see a scan? Fifty? Five?”

       “’I’m caught between enforcing the current legal paradigms around copyright and allowing my colleagues to have academic freedom in what they assign students to read’ Mr. Stutzman said. He plans to tell teachers that they need to choose material that is easy to license, even if it is not necessarily the best, until there is more legal clarity.”😢😠😡#Libraries #InternetArchive #Research
