“…Additional examples of early library and archive digitization efforts began in 1995 with Making of America, a collaboration between Cornell University and the University of Michigan, and continued with the Google Books Project in the 2000s as well as the ongoing efforts of the Internet Archive (IA). Most of these earlier digitization efforts were motivated, at least explicitly, by preservation interests and a desire to create a digital "dark archive" rather than to support digital lending (Centivany, 2017). CDL therefore reflects a marked change, not necessarily in actual digitization practices, but rather in public explanations and justifications for the creation and use of digital resources.…”

Libraries and library consortia are adopting controlled digital lending (CDL) as a strategy, accelerated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to facilitate equitable access to print collections. While advocates of CDL contend that digitize-and-lend practices reflect an incremental, technology-assisted adjustment to traditional library circulation, lending, and resource-sharing practices, opponents of CDL in the United States and Canada argue that the practice contravenes well-established copyright protections. This paper discusses current controversies surrounding CDL, its potential promise and perils, and concludes that a reasonable, equitable, and forward-looking application of copyright laws ought to insulate libraries and library consortia from exposure to liability for engaging in CDL.
