I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved that the group “determined not to recommend any changes at the present time” in regard to copyright law and e-reserves. On the one hand, we are left with the same ambiguity that we have been dealing with forever. On the other hand, I’m terrified that the habit libraries have had of late to pay copyright clearance fees for fair use ereserves might have become an official recommendation. So, no news is potentially good news.

For the rest of the report, I’m not sure there is anything groundbreaking here. Judge for yourself though. The report can be found here: http://www.section108.gov/docs/Sec108StudyGroupReport.pdf
