Today, with "April 16 Archive," @WebSciDL@StormyArchives begins regular #storytelling#summarization of public @archiveitorg collections. We give users the gist of a #webarchiving collection with a small intelligent sample. #WebArchiveWednesdayhttps://oduwsdl.github.io/dsa-puddles/stories/archiveit_collections/2020/10/07/archive-it_collection_694/…
The seeds for this new model of digital publishing, COMPOST, were planted--appropriately at the Mushroom Farm during #GetDWeb Camp. Check out this new way to nurture creatives.

A year of work by @maira, Udit and myself since the idea started @GETDWeb Camp 2019, with help from many friends in digital publishing. We are looking forward to launching our first issue as we enter Phase 2 of our project https://distributed.press/approach/
We are finding that many libraries don't know about #ControlledDigitalLending. That's why we are holding a series of events, Library Leaders Forum 10/13 & 10/20--everyone is welcome. You can register here: http://libraryleadersforum.org

Some #libraries are. Others not so much. I’m trying very hard to understand why others do not use #controlleddigitallending. Especially at a research intensive university and 7 months into the pandemic.
#WebArchiving partners Patrick Wallace and Kaitlin Buerge from @Middlebury wanted to include more voices in their archives of student life. Learn how they opened their community collection here: https://archive-it.org/blog/post/unauthorized-voices-in-the-archive-documenting-student-life-in-middlebury-colleges-community-web-archive/…#AITonline2020
For the latest on Web Archiving, Archive-it's online conference: watch the video recording recap soon.

Kicking off #AITonline2020 in our snazzy new virtual conference space! We'll share some tasty #WebArchiving and #DigitalPreservation morsels here too, but stay tuned for the full recap with video recordings shortly afterward https://archive-it.org/blog/2020-virtual-partner-meeting/…
For the blind, ebooks are a lifeline, yet less than one in ten exists in an accessible format. At this year's Library Leaders Forum, we're discussing how digital library practices empower people and communities http://libraryleadersforum.org/schedule/#EmpoweringLibraries
Better World Books got a rare 1st edition of the printed version of Frederick Douglass' "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" Worth $$$$...
So they put it on the Internet Archive.
And then they donated the copy to the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
I don't normally support piracy. But if these publishers win their case against the Internet Archive and force it to destroy its ebook collection, I hope everyone in the world steals their books from now until they're bankrupt. They're burning the Library of Alexandria on purpose
Thank you...needed this explanation. “We don't think about things like Wikipedia, the Internet Archive and all these other public goods that exist and have a public-interest component that would not exist in a world without 230," said Aaron Mackey, staff attorney at the EFF...”

.@chrisfreeland: Controlled Digital Lending came from the #copyright community & library community. Through partnership w/ libraries & booksellers @internetarchive's @openlibrary preserves 1.4m physical books. twitter.com/capturedecon/s…
Attacks on lending 1:1 digital copies of books are attacks on lending 1:1 copies of physical copies of books. Lending is lending, and knowledge is knowledge. Stop the war on libraries!
Dean Smith: "If 25 years from now all we have is CDL, we will have failed..."
"I hope future leaders will see the importance of having an educated public. These fora are one way for us to work things out."
When was the last time you saw this? At Library Leaders Forum: a copyright lawyer, publisher, bestselling author, public librarian, policy advocate & Author's group talking about how to create a win-win-win for digital books?
#EmpoweringLibraries
Carmi Parker of WCLS says book licenses are driving more limitations & higher prices.
How much higher? Between 2011-2020, WCLS costs tripled per book.
What's more, this 3x licensing price tag must be repaid every 12 or 24 months.
It's less book for more.
#empoweringlibraries
on putting BUY Buttons next to Borrow buttons on library sites: "Libraries ARE the Buy Button. We spend millions of dollars on books every year. We are a market...we buy a ton of stuff."
#EmpoweringLibraries
: "As a policy solution this is very affordable. This is a great moment of common sense where legislators can say 'Yes, this makes sense.'" #ControlledDIgitalLending#EmpoweringLibraries
:
"Distance learning
Home Schooling
Health concerns
Expanding access to rural areas
Fiscal Responsibility
Disability rights
Members of the military overseas
All these dif constituencies say this will make my life a little better if they pass CDL."
"Frankly, the ideas that some JD can go to work for a half million dollars for publishers or Amazon and think he can rewrite the deal between readers, writers & libraries is just stupid!"
#EmpoweringLibraries
"The more writers go to Amazon, the more reasons for readers to only go to Amazon.
The reason I support #ControlledDigitalLending is I think libraries should have the right to buy, digitize and lend books. Libraries are older than paper!"
: "Let me talk macro a little bit. We have 1 giant bookseller & 5 giant publishers...its a bad outcome for everyone except the monopolists."
#EmpoweringLibraries
Brianna Schofield: "Authors turn over copyright to publishers who have little incentive to keep books available. If an author is lucky enough to have her book scanned & available thru CDL at least it may be available for the 100 years it is under copyright."
ED: "Let me paint a picture. An author publishes her book in 1980...with copyright laws, that books is probably still under copyright in 2100. The commercial life of a book is 10-20 years."
#EmpoweringLibraries
Dean Smith sees utility in #ControlledDigitalLending and is experimenting with #OpenAccess, CDL and beyond. Publishers need to break even, which is challenging with scholarly works. But
6/ Carmi Parker: "Libraries & publishers share common goals. With prices going up, our collections get smaller every year. Emerging authors & midlist authors we want in libraries tend not to show up... How to do this in a way that makes sense for libraries & publishers?"
5/ Carmi Parker: "I'm concerned about this pattern: increasing prices and increasing limitations. I believe we need to go to publishers and use print as a model. That's why I'm interested in #ControlledDigitalLending--it uses print lending as a model for digital."
5/ Librarian Carmi Parker: "My library buys between 20-50 copies of a bestseller. Macmillan only allows us to buy one. So we boycotted Macmillan. 1200 public libraries joined us."
4/ Public Librarian Carmi Parker: "Prices have tripled between 2011-2020. All major publishers are limiting the time we can license books from 12 to 24 months. Right now we are looking at repurchasing everything we licensed in 2018."
"During Covid...CDL helps fill this digital void. Afterall, students often say 'if it's not digitally available, its as if it doesn't exist.'
"We are craving this type of digital access. #ControlledDigitalLending helps meet this need."
: "Libraries & archives do NOT need permission to lend the books they have purchased...
Libraries are special creatures of copyright. Congress put special rules in the copyright law for libraries so they fulfil their mission."
: "The trend we're seeing: publishers are trying to change what it means to lend books. They're trying to change what it means to be a library."
"We need to make sure that libraries remain part of a robust info ecosystem."
#EmpoweringLibraries
At the Library Leaders Forum: Q: What is #ControlledDigitalLending?
A: It is a legal framework developed by the #Copyright community that allows #libraries to digitize and lend books they own. The "own to loan ratio" must be 1:1. Libraries have been practicing CDL for 9 years.
#EmpoweringLibraries is for readers, teachers, students, librarians, people with disabilities that impact reading and everyone who wants vibrant libraries in the future.
Thanks to
Now more than ever, #libraries are working tirelessly to ensure their resources are available for those in need, including e-books, through #controlleddigitallending. Support them by joining the #EmpoweringLibraries campaign:
How will libraries evolve in the 21st century? Explore the future of digital lending with experts from the library, copyright, and information policy fields at the Library Leaders Forum.
http://libraryleadersforum.org#empoweringlibraries
Library Leaders Forum starts today - and with it, our first #brainstorm thread! Reply to this tweet with your thoughts on today's topic: 'How can digital lending be more accessible in the future?' We'll discuss at the end of the session #EmpoweringLibraries
3/ "Instead of owning an ebook copy forever, librarians must decide at the end of the licensing term whether to renew."
The high cost of ebook licenses is eating up librarians' meager budgets.
2/ "The result: Libraries typically pay between $20 and $65 per copy—an industry average of $40, according to one recent survey—compared with the $15 an individual might pay to buy the same ebook online."
Dear Publishers & OverDrive,
Ebook prices are genuinely too high for libraries to afford. The costs bankrupt our budgets. If you’re having difficulty paying your writers, agents, editors, illustrators, translators, & other staff, maybe you ought to pay the CEOs less.
Stay well

A great way to go down an artist rabbit hole or two.

Okay folks, buckle up, because I have an art history research thread incoming. Nothing to do with Covid or presidential politics, but just a pure art and archives extravaganza, hallelujah! 1/
