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. The resources on this site offer libraries an opportunity to: communicate their support for CDL, and build a community of expertise around the practice of CDL.	./cache/controlleddigitallending-org-3639.html	./txt/controlleddigitallending-org-3639.txt
