ASCLA members -
Kendall Wiggin, Chair of the ASCLA Legislation Committee asked me to share the following information with ASCLA members:
The World Intellectual Property Organization is currently considering the issue of limitations and exceptions
to copyright protection. Here is the link for the Notice from the Copyright Office soliciting comments on
the blind and visually impaired.

Ken emphasized that it is VERY important to respond and get the library contributions and challenges on the table. Ken asks that you please copy him on any responses. His email address is

Thanks!
