Reference Service, Human Nature, Copyright, and Offsite Service--in a "Digital Age"?
Mann, Thomas
Reference & User Services Quarterly, v38 n1 p55-61 Fall 1998
Librarians cannot distribute their collections electronically until the problems of intellectual property and free-and-equal access are resolved. Libraries must overcome restrictions of "virtual libraries" thereby making copyrighted texts freely available. Libraries must be promoted as places where readers freely consult both copyrighted books/journals and site-licensed databases that cannot be tapped into from anywhere, at anytime, by anyone in cyberspace.(AEF)
