-"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." ​From: [[https://​controlleddigitallending.org/​|Controlled Digital Lending website]]+"​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.

-"Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) has been receiving attention throughout the library ​and publishing communities as a potential remedy ​to the restrictive ebook licensing practices operated by some publishersLibraries argue that these licensing practices undermine the balance between private interests ​and public ​access that have long been part of copyright lawsand limit the way library users get access ​to information and cultureCDL proposes that as long as libraries ​legitimately acquire physical ​copies of collection itemsit is legal to digitise and provide access to users on 1:1 “owned to loaned” ratio. CDL is gaining traction in the US and Canada, and IFLA has recently released a statement identifying its potential across the world." ​Extract from: [[https://copyrightliteracy.org/2021/08/13/upcoming-webinar-on-the-strategic-and-practical-implications-of-cdl-for-uk-academic-libraries/|Upcoming webinar on the strategic and practical implications of CDL for UK academic libraries]]. Jane Secker UK Copyright Literacy blog13 August 2021+\\

 +"​Making copies of print materials available ​to patrons in digital format brings many advantagesFor instance, this practice can make collections more widely accessible to researchers ​and the general ​public, ​as seen during ​the pandemic. There are also economic and ecological benefits ​to digital lendingYet, libraries ​must ensure they are not violating copyright restrictions when circulating digital ​copies of their physical materials. To help librarians navigate this challenge, a concept known as Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) has emergedThis paper explains what CDL is, how it supports ​the library'​s mission, and how librarians can implement CDL successfully at their institutions."

 From the blog: "Over the past few decades, a growing proportion of materials purchased by libraries has been in electronic rather than physical format. This format shift has brought many changes in the way in which we make materials available, and archive and preserve them. We have also moved in many areas from owning materials to leasing or renting them. However, nothing in these shifts affect the fundamental principle that libraries should be able to lend the materials that they have acquired to the communities they serve."​ From the blog: "Over the past few decades, a growing proportion of materials purchased by libraries has been in electronic rather than physical format.

-From the statement"​Controlled Digital Lending can represent an important tool for librariesIFLA therefore supports this, underlining its ability ​to offer libraries ​the freedom to provide access to their collections,​ both during the pandemic and beyondTo achieve this, IFLA argues that all countries should recognise the possibility for libraries to lend works, that laws should be adapted to the digital environment so that libraries can continue their mission to provide access to information and knowledge ​in the modern age, and that the combination of exceptions – for example to digitise and lend – should not be restricted unnecessarily."+[[https://time.com/​6108581/​internet-archive-future-books/​|I Set Out to Build the Next Library of AlexandriaNow I Wonder: Will There Be Libraries ​in 25 Years]]?

These two conflicting forces—towards unfettered availability and completely walled access ​to information—have defined the last 25 years of the Internet. How we handle this ongoing clash will define our civic discourse ​in the next 25 years. If we fail to forge the right path, publishers’ business models could eliminate one of the great tools for democratizing society: our independent libraries."
  
-Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, is happy to announce the development of new functions that will increase the compatibility of the company’s library software solutions with controlled digital lending. Controlled digital lending (CDL) is a practice that enables libraries to lend a digital copy of a physical resource in a “lend like print” manner—that is, in the same way in which they lend the physical resource itself. 
  
-The Controlled Digital Lending by Libraries group has defined three “core principles” of CDL: “A library must own a legal copy of the physical book, either by purchase or gift; the library must maintain an ‘owned to loaned’ ratio, simultaneously lending no more copies than it legally owns; the library must use technical measures to ensure that the digital file cannot be copied or redistributed”.
