For anyone besides me who forgot what the Georgia State case was
about, it is book publishers suing a university for copying their
materials in electronic (digital) course packs.

Greetings from the sunny mountains,
Here is an update on the Georgia State case written by Kevin Smith
at Duke University.
http://library.duke.edu/blogs/scholcomm/2011/03/23/gbs-and-gsu-two-cases-going-forward/
He first discusses the Google Books settlement case and then the
Georgia State details follow afterward. To summarize, last
Thursday, Georgia State’s motion for dismissal of the case due to
state sovereign immunity was denied and the case will be going to
trial on May 16th.
Best,

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
issues relating to the selection, evaluation,
acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current
and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It
is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for
video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between
libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
