Pat Schroeder spoke at NYLA last week as a rep of the AAP, that is
fighting this. She said they will only make "snippets" of what is
digitized of copyrighted text available. She wondered what the legal
definition of "snippet" was.

I think Bob's chart could be made clearer with a little tweaking. Even
if the numbers are hard to obtain, their meaning does not have to be
obscure.
First off, his figures do not take into account the number of
installations as opposed to the number of libraries. This is a very
revealing distinction. How many "installations" do the Koha and
Evergreen numbers represent? Are all 47 Evergreen libraries running off
one installation? Two? Forty seven? This is very pertinent information
and should be easy to get and present.
Secondly, the use of a category called "other" is confusing and
unnecessary. From my reading of his explanation, he seems to be
referring to libraries that have signed a contract to install Koha or
Evergreen but have not gone live yet. If this is the case, it should be
stated as such. "Contracted for Evergreen" and "Contracted for Koha"
would be much clearer than "other".
The remarks about the 23 INCOLSA libraries are ambiguous. If this
number represents only a marketing agreement between INCOLSA and
LibLime, then it should not be included in any count of libraries going
with an open source ILS. The marketing agreement could be mentioned in
a footnote to the numbers chart, because it is significant information,
but if it does not represent actual users or libraries that have made a
commitment to install a system, then it should not be included in any
count.
It would be useful to see equivalent figures for other types of
libraries as well. Special and academic libraries are also beginning to
use an open source ILS.

I thought the final paragraph of the article was very interesting:
"On Wednesday the Internet Archive announced, together with the Boston
Public Library and the library of the Marine Biological Laboratory and
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, that it would start scanning
out-of-print but in-copyright works to be distributed through a digital
interlibrary loan system."
I couldn't find a mention on the OCA web site about how they are
tackling the copyright issue when it comes to scaning in-copyright
out-of-print books?

In the general OCA project, they don't -- they only scan volumes from
1922 and earlier. 1923 and later is out-of-scope for OCA.
I am very interested in seeing how they go about building a document
repository for in-copyright works that is meant for ILL. I thought that
general practice was that entire volumes were never digitized for ILL
document delivery. Someone with more experience in ILL should weigh in
here.

Karen Schneider's recent Web4Lib post on the NY Times article about
the OCA and libraries reminded me of something. Well, it was actually
her Web4Lib posting that made me go to her blog where I saw I reference
to the thing I had forgotten about. :-)
Siva Vaidhyanathan is working on a book called "The Googlization of
Everything". The book project has a blog, where Siva invites people to
comment on various postings related to Google. One of the topical areas
in the blog is "Is Google a Library?"
http://www.googlizationofeverything.com/is_google_a_library/
Siva's first post on the "Is Google a Library" topic was on September
28. There are now 4 posts, with a grand total of three replies. I was
surprised to see such little activity for a topic (Google and libraries)
that usually draws big crowds at conferences. Maybe people aren't aware
of this forum yet?

From what I heard (when this was discussed the next day) was that they
haven't entirely figured out what to do about the copyright issue, but
they are definitely NOT likely to impose actual DRM on the files. There
was something said about including a notice, something like the "Xerox
machine" notice, that alerts users to the fact that the item may be
under copyright. I also may have heard (or I could be mixing things up)
that they'll focus on out-of-print items. This makes me think that it'll
run into the "orphan works" issue, which has been much discussed but
not resoled.

The orphan works bill is still in limbo, but I believe the provisions
were
that an author/rights holder either can't be determined or can't be
located. Out of print and orphan aren't synonymous. In fact, since a
work was published, there is some level of research that can be
undertaken
to locate the rights holder. Orphan works, if and when it passes, will
require demonstrated "good faith" efforts to locate the rights holder
and
obtain permission to distribute. I don't think IA could make a case for
"orphan works" and in fact might muddy the waters for this important
law,
which is already a law of concern for commercial publishers. With a
known author and publisher, there is a paper trail that must be explored
to determine that no creator/rights holder, or his assign, currently
exists to authorize use of the copyright-protected resource.
I'm interested to see if fair use is a legitimate claim for the
distributor of a resource rather than the user. Distribution is of
course
a use, but it isn't a use that is explicitly or even implicitly covered
by
the four factors. I'm not aware of case law that has supported the
distribution of a resource to promote its availability for fair use as a
fair use in and of itself. The "xerox notice" is intended to inform the
end user so that he makes use of a resource in a way that conforms to
fair
use, not to support fair use actions of the library. In U.S. law and in
other "fair dealing" exemptions, most notably the UK, the library is
seen
very much as the intermediary that enables the user to make fair use of
a
resource, and not a resource user exercising fair use in its own right.
I know that a lot of libraries, including the Library of Congress,
reference fair use as a justification for making resources available in
digital collections, particularly primary resources with no obvious
commercial value and no discoverable creator or rights holder, such as
the
many historical photographs of unknown origin that a library or archive
might make available on the Web. I have a lot of questions about the
use
of the "fair use" exemption as a justification. I think the Orphan Works
Act, if it gets passed, or Section 108(h) which makes resources in the
last twenty years of copyright protection available for reproduction and
distribution under certain conditions, would be more applicable. I
think
that 108(h) does require that the work not be available at a fair price
or
still commercially exploitable and I do feel only the rights holder can
make that assessment. With an identifiafle creator and publisher, I
think
IA will have a difficult time with either a "fair use" or an "orphan
works" justification. I think they would be better to look at 108(h)
which is intended to increase the public domain, as a better
justification
and work with older materials in copyright. Section 108(h) is the most
recent 108 provision and it would be interesting to see IA push the
envelope there. I think any use of orphan works, without doing the
research required to declare an orphan work, might hurt OWA's chances to
pass, if it isn't moribund already.

Hi All,
I just posted a story to LISNews about The Ocean County Library (NJ)
losing their domain name to a squatter. I just want to remind as many
people as I can to check your domains.
I've seen this happen at least 6 times to LISHosted sites in the past
(Ocean County wasn't @LISHost). If you own your own domain name,
please be sure to check and make sure it's not going to expire any
time soon!
I hate to see this happen to anyone, and it's especially bad when it
happens to a library. Be sure your organization knows who is
responsible for your domain name and they're aware of important dates!
>From The Article:
"Unbeknownst" to the library, the domain name expired Aug. 31,
according to Matteo. "I didn't get the renewal notices," she said.

Subject: [Web4lib] Take the Survey of Academic Library Websites;
Receive Free Copy of Report.

Primary Research Group (_www.primaryresearch.com_
(http://www.primaryreserch.com/) ) is planning to publish a survey of
academic library websites. This
survey is restricted to college libraries, including 2-year, 4-year and
university websites, and is open to the academic libraries of all
countries. The
survey should be taken by the library website webmaster or other
individual
knowledgeable about the day to day workings of the college website.
Participants
receive a free PDF copy of the estimated 100-page report. Your library
would
be listed as a participant but all data is presented in aggregate
categories
and not broken out by library. Data is broken out by type and size of
institution for easier benchmarking. To take the 50-question survey,
follow the
link below:
