#Copyright #Books #eBooks #Libraries #DigitalLibraries: "Today, the Internet Archive has submitted its appeal [PDF] in Hachette v. Internet Archive. As we stated when the decision was handed down in March, we believe the lower court made errors in facts and law, so we are fighting on in the face of great challenges. We know this won’t be easy, but it’s a necessary fight if we want library collections to survive in the digital age."

I guess when they arrive in KY, and they will in due time, I hope Costco might employ me as a receipt checker.

What she says at 4:11: I don't think the U.S. Library of Congress does this or anything remotely like it for digital editions--would that it did! Considering all the lost information that went into a dark hole with the loss of Geocities and Angelfire websites (thinking about the history of genre romance covers, for example)

Update: Despite reporting this internal candidate's conduct to my director, I was informed this morning during a staff meeting that this candidate was selected for the FT position. I am FLOORED and horrified. I think we have zero credibility as a department for this decision. I am utterly gobsmacked. I guess cheating pays off, kids! #libraries

I'm visiting three #libraries in #Stockholm today. The National and Academy of Letters libraries for books on Early Modern burial customs. The main city library for a 1950s novel about a Swedish missionary in New Guinea.

@fskornia thanks for saving the #manuals! @internetarchive has a growing collection at https://archive.org/details/manuals & requests uploads. There are some good things about today's internet! Let's support both physical & digital #libraries, & the conscientious #librarians who will defend the authentic info on which our cultural and physical lives may depend.
