A great thread (and paper) to read on the mission of libraries and the challenges to that mission posed by the book industry.

With the #ControlledDigitalLending #CDL case coming on Monday (3/20) @jziskina and I are excited to announce the release of “The Publisher Playbook: A Brief History of the Publishing Industry’s Obstruction of the #Library Mission.” [link at end of thread] /1

@tadawes @ARLnews Congratulations! Well deserved.

For those who write to be read, this is an important statistic.

[Charles Watkinson (he/him/his) @charleswatkinso]

Stunning statistic from @JSTOR at #chsconf22 - 8,000 of the 120,000 ebooks on JSTOR are OA. They account for 50% of all ebook usage on JSTOR. Am I getting this right, @rebseger ?

[Lisa Macklin @lisamacklin]

Wonderful program by @EmoryRoseMARBL @EmoryLibraries by Dacre Stoker on Bram Stoker’s Dracula for @EmoryUniversity’s Homecoming! Congratulations to all who made this such a success - we had to get extra chairs.

A thread worth reading as we all seek to strike a balance in equitable access and financial support for authors and publishers.

[Fight for the Future @fightfortheftr]

BREAKING: Today, 300+ authors are speaking up for the digital rights of libraries and asking for an end to corporate attacks against libraries.

We hope authors will continue to reclaim their power & ✍🏻 at

Re-upping this announcement this morning: two excellent new legal guides from the Software Preservation Network, explaining how to use Section 108 (in the US) and Section 30.1 (in Canada) to augment our software preservation superpowers under fair use and fair dealing.

In his remarks just now on the Cancer Moonshot, @POTUS raised research sharing as "one of the biggest issues" necessary to speed discovery and highlighted his administration's work to ensure "transparency applies to all federally funded science." #OAintheUSA

[Lisa Macklin @lisamacklin]

@lisambayer Unfortunately it sounds like a website or blog post is dispensing this advice without understanding POD. That puts the onus of explaining POD on you. In the past we made POD books available to our faculty so they could judge quality. No one objected after holding a book.

[Lisa Macklin @lisamacklin]

@lisambayer When we were working on the Model Publishing Contract we made a decision not to specify print on demand but to just say print. It was potentially more confusing than helpful. 2/2

[Lisa Macklin @lisamacklin]

@lisambayer Sincere question. Are you not specifying a print run in your contract? If not, perhaps the confusion is how many print books will be produced. I realize the answer is “as many as needed” but that is likely not clear to authors. 1/2

[Lisa Macklin @lisamacklin]

@hjoseph A well deserved celebration and moment to catch your breath.

[Lisa Macklin @lisamacklin]

Great work by my wonderful library colleagues with support from NSF and NEH.

[Lisa Macklin @lisamacklin]

@AprilHathcock Congratulations! You’ll be great.

@CopyrightLibn I moved to a credit union during the mortgage fiasco and economic downturn. I decided to have people who are part of my community steward my money. Some inconveniences, like fewer ATMs, but better customer service. Never going back to banks.

Today’s landmark policy guidance from @WHOSTP making U.S. taxpayer-funded research immediately available will speed progress toward curing diseases, preventing pandemics, mitigating climate change, and more #OAintheUSA https://t.co/egIn2G9bTo
