Can you share the priority order of services coming back online?

Archive-It crawlers are running

Hello from Gates Archive in Seattle

@Brewster Kahle I work as a Sales Analyst for GitHub focusing on our advanced security product. We just began offering our services for non-profits. I am wondering if our product could have prevented this attack.

I appreciate that this DDOS attack has put a lot on your plates that you don't need. And appreciate the updates and all the work you are doing to recover.

Thank you for the update. Will there be further updates or opportunities for discussion/questions on the post cyber attack recovery as part of this forum?

Internet Archive Responds to Appellate Opinion in Hachette v. Internet Archive: https://blog.archive.org/2024/09/04/internet-archive-responds-to-appellate-opinion/

Do you have any hints about the motivations behind the attack? how different was it from the previous attack?

The ddos was the same— and we had put in defences so it took a while to configure but basically worked. What was new was a defacement of some javascript. This caused us to take the site down and assess and improve. Then resume services as we feel safe to do so.

I'm curious about how the new CA law will affect digital publishing (it basically says that you cannot say you are "purchasing/buying/owning" digital products that you cannot access offline/without DRM) It basically clarifies something we've all known- you don't actually "own" a lot of your digital material. It makes it clearer for consumers.

We are looking for more partners for doing peer-to-peer interlibrary loan.

So many video games that have vanished from the 70s and 80s.

Even recently with flash becoming obsolete

I recently saw the term "data trauma" used to describe the loss of content

TIFF 👍

Thank you, Elizabeth! Much appreciated.

I love the ALA booths and getting to know our partners at BWB!

Elizabeth is incredible

Thank you, Elizabeth!

Yay! I have a box I haven't taken to the post office yet 🤣

Elizabeth rocks!

As one of your partner libraries digitizing using the Scribe 3 system, how do we scan offline? That's news to us. We'd very much like to keep using our Scribes, which have been dark for 8 days now. (Also, we would be interested in moving from jp2's to tiffs!)

Armored, a la Hannibal Barca?

I love the elephant conversion! 🐘

A great tool!

Can we get access to our favorites list of books in our readers account?

I might be able to get my packrat fiancé to let go of some of his super old fantasy novels if it's for the sake of preservation. ;)

Chris is right, Liz rocks!

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is currently working on reparative authority work for women’s names — the loss of critical access to the IA library collections focuses on how important it is to research.

I love Internet archive!!! I’ve been lost without you!!

Ya’ll are amazing! (Clickable Historical Links via Wayback Machine)

How do we get a link for the tues meeting?

Lisa is amazing!

Thank you, Mek !

Thank you, Mek!

Thank you to you and the other hero presenters.

Will this recording be available as a recording or only a transcript/ and where if so?

thanks

We Love You Wayback Machine

We serve at 1,500 requests per second on wayback, I understand.

Archive.org makes ARK identities available for all uploaded items. I use these extensively, like DOIs, for reference (rather than the plain item URLs). Can any of you at IA speak to the issue of Archive.org's attitude to ARK IDs, and the Archive's intention to continue using ARK as a part of basic infrastructure in the foreseeable future?

Yay, IA Scholar 😁

Community Webs is such a great program (of the many described here)!

looking forward to the communitywebs page coming back online! thanks for all you do

Very pretty space!

It’s such a fun space!!

Please use the vancouver HQ for your meetings, or anything.

Wonderful memories of this beautiful room!

Kudos to IAC and UofT!

Congratulations on completing that digitization!

The US needs to catch up to Canada on democracy’s library. We can do it!

Scanning as performance. People love it. Lets not bury scanning in our basements

andrea mills contact, please?

andrea@archive.org

I ❤️ Andrea!!

Way to go Andrea & Canada!

BL has not fully recovered unfortunately

Thank you, Internet Archive, for your innovation and courage in providing leadership in so many areas, as well as for the vital preservation work that you do!!! I'm sorry to be out of town for the in-person events next week.

I live in mississauga, canada. love to visit toronto team

Perfect attendance!

It's so cowardly that cybercriminals target libraries, hospitals, schools, because those are the institutions who will more often pay ransoms in order to protect their users.

Can you talk a bit about the long term maintenance of digital files?

Andrea has been so incredible to work with!

shall i email andrea for an appointment?

Andrea is great!

YAY LIBRARY FUTURES

Yay Juliya and Dave H.!!

Our users are shocked when they see library prices to license, not buy, ebooks.

“Libraries do not exist to sell books for publishers” louder for the people in the back!!

Let people know the terms being offered to libraries by the big 5, and how it affects them personally

Phenomenal talk Jennie, thank you for mentioning our ebook project BRIET - I’ll be up in a moment to show a bit more!

I have to go. Thank you!!!

This was so incredibly informative- thank you to all of speakers!

Keep fighting for OA- it's how medical and scientific breakthroughs happen! When great minds can openly collaborate, we all benefit!

'fair' vs 'dark' ?!

As expected, we’re running a bit long today. We’ll keep recording if you need to jump to your next meeting.

Peer Review Publishing having so many issues is a great wedge for open access

Also, I have a livestream simulcast up. https://isoc.live/18467

Joined!

There's been some good work in serials to get some important features into contracts, but I've been shocked and concerned about how many libraries don't read their contracts or, in some cases, don't even have access to them because they live with external procurement with their parent agencies.

Thank you so much. Need to boogie. This has been wonderful.

YAAAAAYYYYY DAVID

glad the French pronunciation choice was explained. I would have got that wrong otherwise :)

We libraries should buy these. And there is foundation support for those needing some special funds for this.

Great and needed service and marketplace, gogogo!

I'm emailing my boss about BRIET right now 👀

Way to go IA! Informative presentations from all! Thank you!
