@KyleKCourtney @HarvardLibrary From @KyleCourtney of @HarvardLibrary:
"This may be about the fear of technology, certainly, but technology should be used to enhance access to materials, and do what libraries have always done: increasing access to knowledge by loaning the materials to the public."

@KyleKCourtney @HarvardLibrary @KyleCourtney 3/ "So imagine the potentially enormous high social and scholarly value and relatively low risk if we make these works available to the public for reading, quoting, citing, adaption, using Wikipedia articles."
@KyleKCourtney @HarvardLibrary @KyleCourtney 4/ "Our principle argument...is that #ControlledDigitalLending is a fair use, which is an equitable rule of reason, that permits libraries to do what they’ve always done. And under the First Sale Doctrine, loan those books to users."
