[nabs-l] University Libraries

[Loren Wakefield]

That would be my interpretation of it as well.  And, I know it would take
som etime, but you could check it out and just happen to get it to close to
a scanner.  It would be for your personal use.  And if you are that far in
the education system, you know about giving proper credit.

Actually I think the Chafee amendment means it's not against copyright law
for them to scan things for you.

Hello All:
	Out of curiosity, what are your experiences dealing with the
University Libraries? According to some of our librarians, at the University
of Nevada, Reno, necessary accommodations ought to be made, in order to
allow equal access to all books contained in the libraries. Thus, they
believe they ought to be able to scan and process or receive already
accessible formats of any given book. On the other hand, some librarians
suggested that it is impossible, because it is a violation of copyright laws
(which is technically true).
	I am just curious, because in order to complete my thesis research,
I need access to a book, which is not on Bookshare and I would rather not
buy it, in the instance that the University already owns it.
Respectfully,
Michael Ausbun
