- Down with E-Reserves: Confusing, Contentious, and Vital, E-Reserves Fuel Higher Education--And an Ongoing Copyright Battle Albanese, Andrew Richard Higher Education Copyrights Course Content Academic Libraries Electronic Publishing Information Policy A little over a year ago, press releases from the Association of American Publishers (AAP) and Cornell University touted the release of new "jointly drafted" copyright guidelines to govern what has become a tense subject: the use of electronic course reserves, or e-reserves. Since the mid-1990s, e-reserves have offered libraries and academic institutions the promise of easier, more efficient, and more cost-effective access to and management of their course content. For publishers, however, the practice has come to represent something of a copyright nightmare, tantamount to the creation of illegal "electronic course-packs" in some cases. This article discusses the practical issues of e-reserves concerning their "fair use" in higher education within an ongoing copyright battle.
