Why Does the U.S. Copyright Office Require Libraries to Lie to Users about Their Fair Use Rights? They Won’t Say. - The Scholarly Kitchen
The notice that libraries are #required by #law to provide you is #false and misleading.
In fact, you have the exact same rights in copies provided by the library that you do in copies made elsewhere.
Title 17, Section 107 of the U.S. Code. It describes limitations on the exclusive rights of copyright holders, making clear that despite the general exclusivity of those rights, users of copyrighted documents are nevertheless allowed to make limited uses of those documents that might otherwise infringe on the exclusivity of the copyright holder’s prerogatives. The law introduces fair use as follows:
The fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
So why are libraries required by the current federal statute to mislead you in this way?

'Indentured servitude': Nurses hit with hefty debt when trying to leave hospitals
When Jacqui Rum quit her nursing job at Los Robles Regional Medical Center last fall over the heavy workload and low staffing levels, it came with a high price — a $2,000 bill from her former employer for training costs.
The payment was related to a #contract Rum was #required to sign when she took the job at the Thousand Oaks, California, hospital owned by HCA Healthcare, the nation’s largest for-profit hospital chain.
Under the agreement, which is #standard for #entry-#level #nurses working at HCA hospitals and becoming increasingly standard for other health systems, Rum agreed to #pay #back the hospital for #training if she quit or was fired before her two-year contract expired
