More books & periodicals are online than any library can hold. Should we rethink how we access & navigate them?

@BBCWorldService The Forum explores the past, present & future of libraries with Brewster Kahle, Randa Chidiac & Dr. Andrew Hui.

"Making #archiving obligatory would also encourage universities that don’t yet operate their own repositories to work towards instituting them. “#Universities are one of the most enduring elements of our society,” says Hussein Suleman, a #digitallibraries scholar at the University of Cape Town in S.Africa. “If we adopted this widely, this would be a safeguarding mechanism for the knowledge of our current generation so the future generations can access it.”"

Courts Are Coming for #DigitalLibraries

A federal court recently said the #InternetArchive is not protected by #FairUseDoctrine.

C.J. Ciaramella | From the December 2024 issue

"In September, a federal appeals court dealt a major blow to the Internet Archive—one of the largest online repositories of #FreeBooks, media, and software—in a #copyright case with significant implications for #publishers, #libraries, and #readers.

"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that found the Internet Archive's huge, digitized lending library of copyrighted books was
not covered by the 'fair use' doctrine and infringed on the rights of publishers.

"Agreeing with the Archive's interpretation of fair use 'would significantly narrow—if not entirely eviscerate—copyright owners' exclusive right to prepare derivative works,' the 2nd Circuit ruled. 'Were we to approve [Internet Archive's] use of the works, there would be little reason for consumers or libraries to pay publishers for content they could access for free.'"
