Implications of the Georgia State University e-reserves court case

["B.G. Sloan" <bgsloan2@yahoo.com>]

"...if the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia 
agrees to the motion for summary judgment filed by Cambridge, 
Oxford, and SAGE against Georgia State University...[a] ruling in 
favor of the publishers could put an end to most library 
e-reserves programs and would essentially prohibit the sharing of 
scholarly publications through course management systems (CMSs) 
without purchasing a license for each work, each student, each 
semester."
