For the duration of the emergency, they had made borrowing a book possible to <em>all<\/em> members, regardless of how many others had also chosen to borrow the book at the same time.  The Internet Archive &#8216;borrow&#8217; service is now back to the old &#8216;one book, one borrow&#8217; feature, akin to a normal public membership library that only has paper books.  The mega-publishers would like you to think that the ending of it was due to Archive.org being &#8216;frightened off&#8217; by their new law-suit. But this return to a &#8216;normal library&#8217; approach was always planned, once the emergency period was over. <\/p>\n<p>Archive.org has even added a useful new feature to &#8216;Borrow&#8217;.  One that brings them more into line with the practice of Google Books, and with public libraries where one might take a book off the shelf and flip through it. On many books the potential borrower now gets a full-page preview of the page on which your search-hit occurs.  This is potentially very useful for researchers who find the book is in high demand from borrowers.  Hopefully someone will code a UserScript to place a &#8216;see this same page on Google Books&#8217; link adjacent to the page preview.  Thus potentially giving the researcher more free pages either side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/epic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/epic.jpg?w=529\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"379\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-39644\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archive.org has now ended their &#8216;extended borrow&#8217; feature for books.
