Dear Colleagues,The Internet Archive announces: 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, to meet students’ and readers’ needs while schools and libraries are closed at global scale.
Almost 200 institutions and individuals have endorsed this effort. You can join them in endorsing here.
Please help us spread the word: #NationalEmergencyLibrary (graphics attached!)
Thank you!
