could clarify the nature of copyright and define the meaning of 
fair use in the digital age...The plaintiffs are asking for an

available on e-reserve without paying licensing fees. A decision 
is expected in several weeks. The Chronicle asked experts in 
scholarly communications what the case may mean for the future."
