			The Section 108 Study Group of the Library of Congress seeks comment on

			  libraries and archives under section 108 of the Copyright Act. The issues
			  relate primarily to eligibility for the section 108 exceptions and copies
			  made for purposes of preservation and replacement. The Section 108 Study
			  Group also announces public roundtable discussions of these issues. Roundtables
			  will be held in Los Angeles on March 8, 2006, and in Washington, D.C., on
			  March 16, 2006. The deadline for requests to participate in either roundtable
