And should video be treated the same way as print? 2. How can libraries’ special collections be made available online? 3. Can libraries archive websites for the use of future students and scholars? The copy of the code is available for download at: http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/code-of-best-practices-fair-use.pdf best Regards, Dr Shamprasad M.
