A big win last week for libraries and fair use advocates in the Hathi Trust case! A post from Library Babel Fish does a nice job of explaining the details and includes links to several other posts on the case, like this thorough explanation by Kevin Smith at Duke. Rebecca Rosen of the Atlantic also reported on the case.

Healthcare providers and patients should check out a post from October 2 (which I just came across via @Bangor Beacon), Does the Complexity of Shared Decisions Require More than Basic Health Literacy? by Stephen Kussin about health literacy and shared decisions. Kussin gives an overview of the issue and suggests useful resources for patients with various levels of health literacy.

US News reported on encouraging results from a very small study of a therapeutic vaccine for women who have already been infected with HPV.

And, in a breaking story on Friday from ScienceInsider, the entire scientific review council at the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) is stepping down, apparently due to problems with their peer review system. No doubt there will be more about this in the coming days.
