Abstract:Academic libraries rely on fair use for key functions in support of education. Among these functions are provision of electronic reserves, mass digitization, provision of access for print-disabled students, and preservation. These were the practices at issue in the 2008 Georgia State University e-reserves case and the 2012 HathiTrust case. This article explores the two lawsuits where libraries were sued for alleged copyright infringement. We explore how the courts in each case applied fair use to the facts of the case, compare and contrast the courts' analysis, and explain the role that transformative use plays in distinguishing the outcomes. Finally, the article applies lessons learned from the two cases to common library activities.

高校图书馆不太可能被告：佐治亚州立大学电子保留和HathiTrust案例的比较合理使用分析

摘要：学术图书馆依靠合理使用关键功能来支持教育。这些功能包括提供电子储备，大规模数字化，为残障学生提供访问和保存。这些是2008年乔治亚州立大学电子保留案和2012年HathiTrust案中有争议的做法。本文探讨了两个因涉嫌侵犯版权而起诉图书馆的诉讼。我们探讨了法院在每个案件中如何将合理使用权应用于案件事实，比较和对比法院的分析，并解释了变革性使用在区分结果中所起的作用。最后，本文将从这两种情况中汲取的教训应用于普通图书馆的活动。
