Community is used in open GLAM to describe various networked relationships, localization initiatives, and engagement by volunteers, crowdsourcing, general or specific user-groups (e.g., in Wikipedia and Creative Commons), a given geographic area, and so on. For legal purposes, “community” can also describe a group of diverse and distinct individuals with a shared legal injury, or a group of actors disenfranchised from participating in international legal systems due to their non-state legal status. We acknowledge the oppressive ways in which “community” can be used, and actively resist allowing this word to be co-opted.

Controlled digital lending (CDL) is an emerging method that allows libraries to loan print books to digital patrons in a “lend like print” fashion. Through CDL, libraries use technical controls to ensure a consistent “owned-to-loaned” ratio, meaning the library circulates the exact number of copies of a specific title it owns, regardless of format, putting controls in place to prevent users from redistributing or copying the digitized version. When CDL is appropriately tailored to reflect print book market conditions and controls are properly implemented, CDL may be permissible under existing copyright law.
CDL is not intended to act as a substitute for existing electronic licensing services offered by publishers. Indeed, one significant advantage of CDL is addressing the “Twentieth Century Problem” of older books still under copyright but unlikely ever to be offered digitally by commercial services.

Copyright refers to copyright (common law jurisdictions) and authors’ rights (civil law jurisdictions), rather than the wider category of rights falling under the intellectual property umbrella. When appropriate, “IPR” is used to signal rights in addition to copyright, like sui generis rights, performers’ rights, or patents. We generally aim for specificity.

Cultural heritage is a very loaded term, and some might even contest its use. Here, it is used in the broadest sense possible, even generically, to include scientific, information, data, and other collection types and materials. It also refers to intangible aspects of cultural heritage, like songs, practices, expressions, and dance, which may remain intangible or made “tangible” through its documentation or recording.
