Thanks for being here today everyone!

Please post your questions in the chat. I will share them with our presenter.

Could you provide examples of authorized entities?

01:03:07
Protection for creating and remediating digital repository under fair use IF repository includes accessible digital objects, right?

01:04:15
How do you think the current lawsuit against Internet Archive might effect this caselaw?

01:04:22
Does this mean blind patrons can access the items in the Haithi Trust no matter their institutional affiliation? If so, how do they access them?

01:05:01
I think this is the paper Brandon mentioned, right? https://www.arl.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2019.07.15-white-paper-law-and-accessible-texts.pdf

01:05:13
Is there a databases or a system in place to share already accessible copies to eligible students? Way I can provide what I have made accessible or receive accessible copies from other institutions?

01:05:47
+1 to Sue's question. Does this allow for faculty with a print disabilities?

01:05:55
Can you talk about eligibility requirements on the recipients? I see a lot of confusion around who can receive copies, whether you have to have an ADA-qualified disability, for example.

01:07:21
Can you go back over the DMCA exemptions, and perhaps talk about the implications of the DMCA rule making in relation to the marrakesh treaty.

01:08:09
I don't believe that people not affiliated with Hathi Members are able to access accessible texts: Accessible Text Request ServiceHathiTrust offers an Accessible Text Request Service to users who are affiliated with our member universities or libraries. Through this service, users who are blind or print disabled can request copies of copyrighted books, which are listed as "limited (search-only)" in the HathiTrust Digital Library Collection. HathiTrust member libraries have to set up this service, and requests for copyrighted books should be made to the staff member who is listed as a contact at your university or library.Accessible Text Request Service: determine if you are eligible for this service and find out how to take advantage of itAccessible Text Request Service Configuration: how staff at member universities or libraries can sign up to provide this service to their patrons

Do you have more information on the grant you're working on that we can see?

01:11:21
Yes I would believe it!!!

01:13:42
Until there is a repository, though, can individual Disability Offices save their accessible texts in their own “repository” so they don’t have to create them over and over again?

01:14:12
In terms of the book famines, how do works in translation (i.e. a classic text not in English) intersect with copyright? So if a publisher releases three different translations of the same text, do these texts have individual copyright protections? And how do you stay on top of the accessibility of these texts when publisher proliferate new translations but do not make them accessible?

01:14:24
The Chaffee Amendment seems to focus on textual material and maybe recordings, but what about images and graphic materials? Graphic works seem to have special copyright protection, but we have color blind students and so forth needing help with images.
