Concerns about Justice Dept. intervention in university library electronic reserves

Inside Higher Ed today has an article concerning a matter on which we have posted in the past.  Increasingly, faculty put material on reserve for students.  Typically, such material is not available to the general public; some kind of password or course registration is required.  Publishers have sued regarding copyright violation in a case involving Georgia State U.  So far, the library there has prevailed.

Apparently, the U.S. Dept. of Justice wants to intervene in the case, and the suspicion is that the intervention will be on the side of the publishers who are appealing a lower court ruling.  You can read the details at:

Not surprisingly, university librarians are distressed at this possible intervention.  One librarian notes that in olden times (not so long ago), paper format reserves were kept on library shelves for students to read and no one complained. 

Bottom line: University librarians are fearful that the Obama administration - despite its general enthusiasm for technology and education - is about to do them wrong:

    I do not know whether it's just me or if everyone else experiencing problems with your site. It appears like some of the written text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my internet browser because I've had this happen
    previously. Cheers

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than
    just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
    But think of if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more,
    "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
    and clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
    Terrific blog! polecam stronÄ™,
