Recently, the problem of vanished #OpenAccess journals—176 of them—was exposed by @l_matthia @mikaellaakso
@najkoja.

Since 2017, @internetarchive has also been working to quantify the missing articles & extract what we have saved in the #WaybackMachine. blog.archive.org/2020/09/15/how…
@l_matthia @mikaellaakso @najkoja So far the @internetarchive has archived and identified 9 million open access journal articles.
"One of our goals is to archive as many of the articles on the open web as we can, and to keep up with the growing stream of new articles published every day."
@l_matthia @mikaellaakso @najkoja Goal #2: " Another is to look back over the vast petabytes of web content in the Wayback Machine back to 1996, and find any content we might already have but is not easily findable or discoverable."
See the blog for graph of what we have, what someone else has, what's missing.

From @communia_eu: "The [Hachette v. Internet Archive] decision highlights more general problems with the e-lending business model, not just in the US but also in the EU....Six issues stand out in particular:" 🧵
"1. Licensing contracts expire and need to be renewed after a certain number of loans, in theory simulating the physical degradation of books, but leading to disproportionate prices overall."
"2. Many ebooks are only licensed to libraries after a windowing period to avoid competition during the market introduction of a book, leading to undue delays for library users."

This is why libraries need to be able to own digital media instead of just renting it from corporate landlords…who is preserving these shows?
Disappearing titles are bad for libraries & the patrons we serve. Libraries want to #OwnBooks.
With VHS & DVD, libraries could buy sets, lend to patrons & safeguard copies for cultural posterity. With streaming, the shows just vanish 👻 We don’t want books to suffer the same fate! We want a digital future for libraries where they can own & preserve digital books. #OwnBooks

A group of intellectual property law professors lead by @rtushnet submitted a “friend of the court” brief in support of @internetarchive and controlled digital lending today in our case against Hachette, PRH, HarperCollins and Wiley. 🧵eff.org/document/hache…
@rtushnet 2/ The law professors’ brief notes that nonprofit libraries “serve important democratic interests” and “enable a richer, more democratic culture.”
3/ They explain that, in contrast to @internetarchive’s CDL, the publisher’s “putative licensing alternatives regularly come with policies that harm the larger mission of libraries to preserve information and make it available to citizens on a nondiscriminatory basis.”
