2016: A Banner Year for In-Copyright Content Added to BHL

The last quarter of 2016 continued the year’s steady growth in new permissions for in-copyright titles: 46 in October, November, and December, bringing the year-end total to 154! Major drivers of this growth were the Expanding Access to Biodiversity Literature project, staff at BHL participating institutions, and the worldwide BHL user community, which regularly identifies material and recommends it for digitization.

Below is the list of new titles for which BHL received permission in the fourth quarter of 2016. Note that many of the titles are not yet available in BHL because they are still being digitized or uploaded; check the recent additions page to see if a link has been added for a specific work or peruse In-Copyright Titles on the Permissions page.
