In preparation for writing a research paper on copyright for my government documents class, anything having to do with copyright is on my radar. A poster to the Web4Lib electronic list pointed out the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse list of Web sites that have requested removal of some sort from Google: Google and the DMCA — Chilling Effects Clearinghouse. The Chilling Effects Clearinghouse is “a collaboration among law school clinics and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.” In their about us, they state, “Chilling Effects aims to support lawful online activity against the chill of unwarranted legal threats.”
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a donor-supported, non-profit membership organization that “was created to protect freedom in an increasingly digital world.”
DMCA is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which most of us learned about in the SLIS library 202 or library 200 classes.

In order to understand this better, I am currently reading Lawrence Lessig’s The Future of Ideas.

Zoomify: Fast high-quality images on the Web. Could be I am the last to find this, but I had to blog about it because the images are so sharp. RLG featured it in RLG DigiNews June 15, 2004, Volume 8, Number 3.
There are many links like the following on the Zoomify home page.
