Advocacy Alert: Take action today to oppose a transfer of authority from the Librarian of Congress to the President
by Cathy Wolford 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hello, I have been asked to forward this important message from ALA's Washington office to as many relevant lists as possible: Advocacy Alert: Take action today to oppose a transfer of authority from the Librarian of Congress to the President With fewer than two weeks left in this congressional session, we face serious threats on the U.S. Copyright Office and Library of Congress. On Wednesday, December 12, the Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act (S. 1010<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxak5wL3TQWKft3Wx5I…>), a Senate companion to the already-passed House bill (H.R. 1695<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxKDVriLNgWDl_JSi4C…>) will be voted on by the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, in spite of strong opposition by ALA and others in the library community. There is intense industry pressure to pass this legislation in the lame duck session, even though this would take authority away Dr. Hayden and give it to the President. ALA strongly opposes this bill<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxAMIgO8z4B8gNosN02…>. We urge you to contact your U.S. Senators now to express your personal opposition and ask them to vote against it. Click here: http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/write-a-letter?10&engagementId=490753 We must keep Congress from undermining Dr. Hayden and her leadership. Make your voice heard for the Library of Congress and libraries everywhere--for Dr. Hayden, a past-president of ALA. Thank you, Cathy--- Cathy Wolford Systems Librarian III DALNET - The Detroit Area Library Network Adamany Undergraduate Library Wayne State University Detroit, MI 48202 313-577-3316
