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.
