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

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.'"

For reasons that may become clearer at a later time, I was minded to revisit a paper from #OpenRepo2024 by @paulwalk -- 'Analysis of OpenDOAR Data'. Paul interrogates #OpenDOAR data and uncovers worrying findings about, a) currency of OpenDOAR data, but perhaps more worrying, b) that almost half of all #repositories do not have a functioning OAI-PMH endpoint.

Call for papers has opened for the International Open Repositories Conference 2025 (OR2025), to be held in the Windy City of #Chicago, IL. 2025 will be the 20th anniversary of the OR conference series.

#Copyright #IP #eBooks #DigitalLibraries #DigitalLending #InternetArchive #BookPublishers: "As for legal next steps, the Archive has two pathways it may choose to take, according to Cara Gagliano, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is representing the Archive in court. They can either petition for a rehearing, or petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, an even more intense process, since the court only takes a handful of cases per year.

“We think the Internet Archive really was serving a transformative purpose and doing what libraries have always done: Loaning out books that they owned to one person at a time,” Gagliano said. “Our take is that it’s absurd that the Internet Archive is allowed to mail me a physical book it owns. The physical publishers can’t stop that. But [the Archive] can’t give me the same content in digital form.”"

I'm starting to pull together write API documentation for updating descriptive metadata in digital libraries.

I've found the documentation from the Internet Archive to be very helpful.

Do you know of other examples in this space that you will share?
