Summary

This chapter examines the HathiTrust Digital Library to demonstrate how public-private partnerships (PPPs) can propel non-profit mission. This kind of partnership helps libraries to better meet the informational needs implicit in the SDGs. The beneficiaries are individuals served by these institutions, such as those who generate research and scholarship, encourage education, and engage in creative endeavor. The chapter provides insights into why this PPP works. It gives a brief history of HathiTrust, and details of the partnership agreement, significant social relationships that allowed the partnership to move forward constructively, and benefits expected and realized by participating partners. It describes how the PPP addressed urgency of book preservation and access to books for people with visual disabilities, and the importance of copyright exceptions and limitations. It explores IP as a distinct challenge to the partnership goals, beginning with difficulties associated in locating the boundaries of the public domain. It also provides some suggestions for adjusting international and national copyright practice and the existing legal and policy framework to better serve public and private interests of PPPs.
