Re: Library Reserves Cases?

Katharine,

     I've done considerable research on just about any copyright issue related to libraries that I can think of. I've never found a reported case specifically involving library reserves. But in order to get a reported case there would have to be trial and in most cases an appeal. Few cases get that far. Fewer still get reported. We often have to work with what we have in the way of statutory language, legislative history and whatever language there is in existing caselaw that might apply by analogy or to part of an issue.
