Restoring the Public Library Ethos: Copyright, E-Licensing, and the Future of Librarianship
Law Library Journal
(2012)
Abstract
Mr. Cross describes the privileged nature of libraries in copyright law and the way that the recent trend toward licensing content undermines that position. In response, he proposes aggressive licensing and library use guided by the public library ethos, the core set of beliefs and practices that justify libraries' privileged position.
