Das Internet Archive hat eine weltweit für alle zugängliche kostenlose Leihbibliothek namens National Emergency Library mit 1,4 Mio. urheberrechtlich geschützten Titeln eröffnet (via Internet Archive Blogs und netbib):
«To address our unprecedented global and immediate need for access to reading and research materials, as of today, March 24, 2020, the Internet Archive will suspend waitlists for the 1.4 million (and growing) books in our lending library by creating a National Emergency Library to serve the nation’s displaced learners. This suspension will run through June 30, 2020, or the end of the US national emergency, whichever is later.»
Update vom 31.3.2020: Internet Archive responds: Why we released the National Emergency Library
