		<description><![CDATA[It’s time for the tri-yearly circus to kick off again. Ars Technica reports that it’s just about time for the Library of Congress to consider granting exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s DRM anti-circumvention provisions. This process comes every three years, and the exemptions last only until the next exemption granting—which means that even [...]]]></description>

Well, you can watch it online for free at C-SPAN&#8217;s LOC minisite.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a very odd quote from James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress. Thanks to Shelf Awareness for publishing it. &#8220;The new immigrants don&#8217;t shoot the old inhabitants when they come in. One technology tends to supplement rather than supplant. How you read is not as important as: will you read? And will you read [...]]]></description>

First, in The Atlantic, Alexis Madrigal looks at how Google has been tweaking and updating its search algorithms to trawl the linkless world of text on paper, where searchers have radically different needs than those who search [...]]]></description>

It retains records for posterity—not just books, but other important things, including digital information. And soon those archives will include every public tweet ever posted to Twitter since the service’s inception in 2006. Much as with the Internet Archive’s [...]]]></description>

The Obama White House so far has ignored the TeleRead idea as recently presented in the Huffington Post (and forwarded to White House staffer Shin Inouye on Oct. 23).
