The National Federation of the Blind has  
asked<http://thepublicindex.org/docs/cases/hathitrust/25-memorandum-in-suppo
rt.pdf>  
a federal court to add it to the  
defendants<http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/hathitrust-defendants-respond-t
o-authors-guild-lawsuit/38805>  
named in a  
lawsuit<http://chronicle.com/article/In-Authors-Suit-Against/128973/>  
brought by the Authors Guild and others against the HathiTrust digital  
repository and five universities. In its filing, the federation invoked  
the 
principle of equal access to information guaranteed by the Americans  With 
Disabilities Act. The federation said the rights of the blind people  it 
represents would be obstructed if the plaintiffs in the case succeeded  in 
impounding the digital works in the trust and in preventing further  
digital 
scanning of copyrighted material.
