The Law & Policy Working Group created two new resources for the SPN community in summer 2022, Section 108 and Software Collections: A User’s Guide and Section 30.1 and Software Collections: A User’s Guide.

These guides explain how to provide access to software by using library exceptions alongside fair use and fair dealing.

The Law & Policy Working Group hosted a special SPN Law & Policy Chat on September 28th, then coordinated a public event hosted jointly by CARL, ARL and SPN on October 4.
