Thank you very much.
I'm interested in talking a bit about the interlibrary loan situation and the regulations, particularly those in proposed section 30.2 of this bill.
Many years ago I was working on and researching a book. I needed a master's thesis that had been published. I had to go to the local library. It took about two or three weeks for it to come up in the mail. It came in the mail. I had it for 20-some days, and then I had to send it back. Call me a copyright criminal, but I made myself a copy because I needed to continue doing research. I still have that copy, and I've referenced it many times.
I see how amazing it would be in a digital realm, where I could get a PDF of it and it could be there momentarily, and yet, within the provisions of the bill, this copy would have to miraculously disappear or be burnt after five days.
Why would we put such arbitrary limits on the ability of research and impact our ability to use the library capacity of this country?
