US fair use and libraries - the GSU e-reserves case

Two weeks ago, on 11th May, the District Court for the Northern district of Georgia handed down its decision on the Georgia State University’s (GSU) e-reserve system. The last two weeks have been very busy for the ADA so we haven’t had a lot of space to look at the decision. Anne Flahvin from Policy Australia, however, gave us an excellent run-down of the case and I thought that the insights the decision provides on the US doctrine of fair use and the way this doctrine can be used by libraries would be interesting to our readers.
