Sound Savings: Preserving Audio Collections
Edited by Judith Matz • 2004 • ISBN 1-59407-663-4 • 158pp.
In July 2003, many of the key stakeholders in audiovisual preservation met at the University of Texas at Austin to share their experiences and discuss the challenges ahead, specifically in the area of preserving sound recordings. The program featured talks by experts on topics ranging from assessing the preservation needs of audio collections to creating, preserving, and making publicly available digitally reformatted audio recordings. Conference attendees--critical stakeholders of the future of audio preservation--articulated seven areas for future action to move the field effectively forward. In this publication, ARL presents the symposium papers and these recommendations for future action.

Open Access Publication of Scientific Research - FY 2005 Appropriations
Dear Representatives Regula and Obey, Senators Specter and Harkin and Dr. Zerhouni:
Our organizations are volunteer and nonprofit HIV/AIDS treatment, vaccine, and prevention advocacy groups with a long history of community participation in all aspects of government and privately sponsored research to fight the AIDS pandemic. In that capacity, we support at July 16, 2004 House Appropriations Committee recommendation that NIH develop a policy requiring a complete electronic text of any manuscript reporting work funded by NIH grants or contracts be supplied to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central. (The specifics of that policy have yet to be announced or commented on publicly.) Furthermore, we support greater efforts to increase open access to medical research/scientific publications, especially for those studies or reviews funded by taxpayer dollars. We understand the House Committee calls on NIH to report by December 1, 2004 on how it intends to implement a policy.

Recording Industry Association of America, Inc., Appellee v. Verizon Internet Services, Inc., Appellant
On December 19, 2003, reversing the rulings of the lower court, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of Verizon. In a case with significant implications for users of file sharing systems, the decision stopped the RIAA from gaining access to names of individuals that the RIAA suspected of illegally downloading music from the Internet. The suits filed by the RIAA have focused on section 512(h), the subpoena provision of the DMCA, that allows any copyright owner or representative to "request the clerk of any US district court to issue a subpoena" to force an Internet service provider (ISP) to identify "an alleged infringer."

Demographic Change in Academic Librarianship
Stanley J. Wilder • 2003 • ISBN 0-918006-97-X • 76 pp.
Demographic Change in Academic Librarianship revisits the retirement projections in Stanley Wilder's 1995 age demographics report and presents an updated analysis of demographic trends that are based on newly available ARL and U.S. census data. While the 1995 report focused on the impact of retirements on the profession, Demographic Change in Academic Librarianship recognizes the connection between the aging of the profession and new entries to the population. In addition to presenting new projections for retirements through 2020, this study updates the age profile of librarians in ARL academic libraries and examines the age, race, gender, and skills of new library professionals.

The Humanist: "Dances with Wolves" or "Bowls Alone"?
