Activist Fights for Access to Library, cites FDLP

Anonymous Patron writes The Harvard Crimson Online reports on a man arrested ejected from the Harvard Law School Library (HLS). The patron, Mr. Richard Max Strahan had often used the Federal Depository Library at the HLS. HLS requires non-Harvard depository users to register and Mr. Strahan was neither registered, or in the depository area when he was arrested. “

Daniel adds: The Federal Depository Library Program has offered some guidance on balancing the requirements of free access to depository materials and the particular mission of a given library. Among the measures allowed is patron registration.
