Abstract

Large-scale library-based book scanning and metadata projects have greatly enlarged the sphere of readily accessible items for scholars, students, independent researchers, and casual readers. These efforts have made large numbers of digital surrogates of items once found only on the shelves of geographically dispersed research libraries universally available to those with access to the Web. Following current U.S. copyright law, the content of these projects is primarily date-determined public domain literature. Copyright law stipulates that all material published in the United States before 1923 is in the public domain. Material published after that date may be in the public domain as well if no copyright notice was included in the publication or if registration of copyright after the initial period of protection was not renewed. Among the several traditional areas of library operations that stand to benefit from these new resources is interlibrary loan service. Instead of deciding whether or not to loan (sometimes rare or fragile) original material, the opportunity to direct both local library users and libraries submitting borrowing requests to the wealth of now-available scanned copies of books and journal articles has the potential to have a significant impact on resource sharing. Legal objections from publishers and authors’ organizations have challenged these scanning efforts since their inception, but court decisions, including the Author’s Guild vs. HathiTrust case, have tended to set strong precedents for their protection under the fair-use provisions of copyright law (Albanese, 2012). The Author’s Guild is undertaking a final push to have
大型书刊数字化工程与馆际服务:开启讨论
大规模的基于图书馆的图书扫描和元数据项目极大地扩大了学者、学生、独立研究人员和普通读者容易获得的项目的范围。这些努力使得曾经只能在地理上分散的研究型图书馆的书架上找到的大量图书的数字替代品能够普遍地提供给那些可以访问网络的人。根据现行的美国版权法,这些项目的内容主要是日期确定的公共领域文献。版权法规定,1923年之前在美国出版的所有材料都属于公共领域。在该日期之后出版的材料,如果出版物中没有包含版权声明,或者在最初的保护期之后没有更新版权登记,也可以进入公共领域。图书馆业务的几个传统领域将受益于这些新资源,其中包括馆际互借服务。与其决定是否借出(有时是稀有的或易碎的)原始资料,还不如指导当地图书馆用户和图书馆提交借阅请求,以获取大量现有的图书和期刊文章的扫描副本,这有可能对资源共享产生重大影响。从一开始,出版商和作者组织就对这些扫描工作提出了法律上的反对,但法院的判决,包括作者协会与HathiTrust一案,往往为他们在版权法的合理使用条款下的保护设定了强有力的先例(Albanese, 2012)。作家协会正在进行最后的努力

期刊介绍: The peer reviewed Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve is the only North American journal devoted to interlibrary loan, document delivery, and electronic reserve librarianship. While other journals in reference services and academic librarianship occasionally publish articles on interlibrary loan or electronic reserve, this unique journal publishes over half of all articles on these topics. These important articles are a mix of practice and theory. Retitled from the Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Information Supply to reflect the expansion of its focus to include electronic reserve, the Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve marks a clear direction to make the journal even more useful to all libraries.
