The stakes of the lawsuit against our library are clear: Libraries must have the right to innovate and adapt to new technology, so that we can continue preserving knowledge in the digital age. eff.org/document/hachette-v-in #EmpoweringLibraries

"This case presents an opportunity for the Court to make clear that libraries, acting within the law, have the imperative to deploy technologies and build innovative services in furtherance of broad access to information."
Kevin L. Smith and William M. Cross, library and information scholars, amicus brief in Hachette v. Internet Archive

"La décision rendue aujourd'hui dans l'affaire #Hachette vs @internetarchive est un coup pour toutes les bibliothèques et les collectivités que nous desservons.
Nous continuerons de nous battre pour le droit des bibliothèques de posséder, de prêter et de conserver des livres."

The #internetarchive case: worst outcome they lose, what's the ACTUAL effect of that? No more digital lending + a hefty fine paid to the publishers?
Just trying to think ahead on this...
