Do you want to help preserve the social media accounts of closed DEI programs in the southern US? Do you have some free time right now and don’t mind repetitive tasks of downloading images & pasting descriptions into spreadsheets? I promise you, it goes pretty quickly once you get a system!
Invisible Histories started a program to download and archive DEI programs’ social media content before they are taken down. You are assigned a couple years for a specific DEI office to archive and upload to Google docs. Read more about the program and sign up here: https://bit.ly/DEIAVolunteer

Digital Preservation in Popular Culture: Matlock S01E09
"Even better. We used this new program. It's kind of like the Wayback Machine but for social media. It's a digital archive that captures the image of a page when it was created." #Matlock #digipres #WebArchiving #SocialMedia #Webrecorder #DigitalArchives #DigitalPreservation
Woah -- the University of #Glasgow #Library blog is especially prolific this week. Robyn Stewart, Archives & Special Collections Assistant, reflects on collections related to GULGBTQ+, who are celebrating 50 years as a society this year.

Courts Are Coming for #DigitalLibraries
A federal court recently said the #InternetArchive is not protected by #FairUseDoctrine.
C.J. Ciaramella | From the December 2024 issue
"In September, a federal appeals court dealt a major blow to the Internet Archive—one of the largest online repositories of #FreeBooks, media, and software—in a #copyright case with significant implications for #publishers, #libraries, and #readers.
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that found the Internet Archive's huge, digitized lending library of copyrighted books was not covered by the 'fair use' doctrine and infringed on the rights of publishers.
"Agreeing with the Archive's interpretation of fair use 'would significantly narrow—if not entirely eviscerate—copyright owners' exclusive right to prepare derivative works,' the 2nd Circuit ruled. 'Were we to approve [Internet Archive's] use of the works, there would be little reason for consumers or libraries to pay publishers for content they could access for free.'"

"Now, under ownership of #Fortnite and Unreal Engine developer #EpicGames, #Sketchfab users are being pushed into a new, consolidated 3D model marketplace called Fab, and they worry that the thousands of 3D models they’ve shared over the years are at risk. I talked to a number of these users for this story and why they are worried, despite Epic Games’ promises."
