Article: Battle Brews over E-reserves

According to this article at LibraryJournal.com:
The Association of American Publishers (AAP) has been challenging the [e-reserves] practice at the University of California–San Diego (UCSD). According to UC counsel Mary MacDonald, that effort began in fall 2003, when AAP legal counsel Allan Adler wrote UCSD officials demanding the library take "prompt action to investigate and terminate the illegal reproduction, display, and distribution of copyrighted works."
