`
`them, in response any additional evidence, testimony, discovery, argument, and/or
`
`other additional information that may be provided to or obtained by me after the
`
`date of this report.
`
`4.
`
`I am being compensated for my time spent working on this matter at
`
`my normal consulting rate of $300 per hour, plus reimbursement for any additional
`
`reasonable expenses. My compensation is not in any way tied to the content of this
`
`Declaration, the substance of my opinions, or the outcome of this dispute. I have

`II. QUALIFICATIONS
`6.
`I am currently an Adjunct Professor in the School of Information at
`
`San José State University. I obtained a Masters of Library Science from the
`
`University of North Texas in 1972 and a Ph.D. in Library Science from the
`
`University of Pittsburgh in 1985. Over the last forty-five years, I have held various
`
`positions in the field of library and information resources. I was first employed as
`
`a librarian in 1966 and have been involved in the field of library sciences since,
`
`holding numerous positions.
`
`7.
`
`I am a member of the American Library Association (“ALA”) and its
`
`Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (“ALCTS”) Division,
`
`and I served on the Committee on Cataloging: Resource and Description (which
`
`wrote the new cataloging rules) and as the chair of the Committee for Education
`
`and Training of Catalogers and the Competencies and Education for a Career in
`
`Cataloging Interest Group. I also served as the founding Chair of the ALCTS
`
`Division’s Task Force on Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging.
`
`Additionally, I served as the Chair for the ALA Office of Diversity’s Committee
`
`on Diversity, as a member of the REFORMA National Board of Directors, and as a
`
`member of the Editorial Board for the ALCTS premier cataloging journal, Library
`
`Resources and Technical Services.

`
`December 20, 2019. . I have not testified at trial.
`
`10. My full curriculum vitae is attached hereto as Attachment A.
`
`III. PRELIMINARIES
`A.
`Scope of This Declaration
`11.
`I am not an attorney and will not offer opinions on the law. I am,
`
`however, rendering my expert opinion on the authenticity of the documents
`
`referenced herein and on when and how each of these documents was disseminated
`
`or otherwise made available to the extent that persons interested and ordinarily
`
`skilled in the subject matter or art, exercising reasonable diligence, could have
`
`located the documents.
`
`12.
`
`I am informed by counsel that an item is considered authentic if there
`
`is sufficient evidence to support a finding that the item is what it is claimed to be. I
`
`am also informed that authenticity can be established based on the contents of the
`
`5
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 6
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`documents themselves, such as the appearance, contents, substance, internal
`
`patterns, or other distinctive characteristics of the item, taken together with all of
`
`the circumstances. I am further informed that an item is considered authentic if it
`
`is at least 20 years old, in a condition that creates no suspicion of its authenticity,
`
`and in a place where, if authentic, it would likely be. Lastly, I have been informed
`
`that a document’s authenticity can be established by comparison with an authentic
`
`specimen.
`
`13.
`
`I am informed by counsel that a printed publication qualifies as
`
`publicly accessible as of the date it was disseminated or otherwise made available
`
`such that a person interested in and ordinarily skilled in the relevant subject matter
`
`could locate it through the exercise of ordinary diligence.
`
`14. While I understand that the determination of public accessibility under
`
`the foregoing standard rests on a case-by-case analysis of the facts particular to an
`
`individual publication, I also understand that a printed publication is rendered
`
`“publicly accessible” if it is cataloged and indexed by a library such that a person
`
`interested in the relevant subject matter could locate it. That is, I understand that
`
`cataloging and indexing by a library is sufficient, although there are other ways
`
`that a printed publication may qualify as publicly-accessible. One manner of
`
`sufficient indexing is indexing according to subject matter category. I understand
`
`that the cataloging and indexing by a single library of a single instance of a
`
`6
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 7
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`particular printed publication is sufficient, even if the single library is in a foreign
`
`country. I understand that, even if access to a library is restricted, a printed
`
`publication that has been cataloged and indexed therein is publicly-accessible so
`
`long as a presumption is raised that the portion of the public concerned with the
`
`relevant subject matter would know of the printed publication. I also understand
`
`that the cataloging and indexing of information that would guide a person
`
`interested in the relevant subject matter to the printed publication, such as the
`
`cataloging and indexing of an abstract for the printed publication, is sufficient to
`
`render the printed publication publicly-accessible.
`
`15.
`
`I understand that routine business practices, such as general library
`
`cataloging and indexing practices, can be used to establish an approximate date on
`
`which a printed publication became publicly accessible.
`
`B.
`16.
`
`Persons of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`I have been informed by counsel that a “person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art at the time of the inventions” is a hypothetical person who is presumed to be
`
`familiar with the relevant field and its literature at the time of the inventions. This
`
`hypothetical person
`
`is also a person of ordinary creativity, capable of
`
`understanding the scientific principles applicable to the pertinent field.
`
`17.
`
`I am told by counsel that persons of ordinary skill in this subject
`
`matter or art would have had a bachelor’s degree in computer science or related
`
`7
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 8
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`field and two or more years of industry experience or a master’s degree in
`
`computer science or a related field. I am informed that this level of skill is only
`
`approximate; for example, and a higher level of education might make up for less
`
`industry experience, and vice versa. My analysis would not change if the level of
`
`ordinary skill in the art were deemed to be somewhat higher or lower.
`
`18.
`
`It is my opinion that such a person would have been engaged in
`
`research, learning through study, and practice in the field and possibly through
`
`formal instruction the bibliographic resources relevant to his or her research. By
`
`not later than the mid-1980s such a person would have had access to a vast array of
`
`long-established print resources in the field, as well as to a rich set of online
`
`resources providing indexing information, abstracts, and full text services for
`
`publications relevant to the field of this dispute.
`
`19.
`
`In preparing this report, I used authoritative databases, such as the
`
`OCLC WorldCat and the Library of Congress Online Catalog to confirm citation
`
`details of the various publications discussed.
`
`C.
`Indexing
`20. A researcher may discover material relevant to his or her topic in a
`
`variety of ways. One common means of discovery is to search for relevant
`
`information in an index of periodical and other publications. Having found
`
`relevant material, the researcher will then normally obtain it online, look for it in
`
`8
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 9
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`libraries, or purchase it from the publisher, a bookstore, a document delivery
`
`service, or other provider. Sometimes, the date of a document’s public
`
`accessibility will involve both indexing and library date information. However,
`
`date information for indexing entries is often unavailable. This is especially true
`
`for online indices.
`
`21.
`
`Indexing services use a wide variety of controlled vocabularies to
`
`provide subject access and other means of discovering the content of documents.
`
`The formats in which these access terms are presented vary from service to service.
`
`22. Before the widespread development of online databases to index
`
`articles in journals, magazines, conference papers, and technical reports, libraries
`
`purchased printed volumes of indices. Graduate library school education mandated
`
`that students learn about the bibliographic control of disciplines, the prominent
`
`indexing volumes, and searching strategies required to use them effectively and
`
`efficiently. Half of the courses that I studied in library school were focused on the
`
`bibliography and resources in academic disciplines.
`
`23. Librarians consulted with information seekers to verify citations,
`
`check availability in union catalogs, printed books catalogs, and the OCLC
`
`database, and make formal requests for materials, e.g., books, conference
`
`proceedings, journal articles. Requests were transmitted using Telex machines,
`
`rudimentary email systems, and the United States Postal Service. During my
`
`9
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 10
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`career, I have performed and supervised staff who handled these resource sharing
`
`tasks.
`
`24. A major firm known for the breadth of subjects and comprehensive
`
`treatment in the preparation of index volumes, the H. W. Wilson Company offered
`
`these reference resources since the firm was founded in 1898. The Reader’s Guide
`
`to Periodical Literature is one of the best-known titles available from H. W.
`
`Wilson. Each volume includes a comprehensive index for 300 of the most popular
`
`and important periodicals published in the United States and Canada. Information
`
`seekers have subject access expressed in plain language terminology, author
`
`access, and cross references to find the desired results from their searches. The
`
`family of index titles included Science & Technology Index, Business Periodicals,
`
`Applied Science & Technology Index, Humanities Index, Biological & Agricultural
`
`Index, and Industrial Arts Index. These printed indices have been superseded by
`
`digital database offerings available to information seekers through Ebsco.
`
`25. Online
`
`indexing
`
`services
`
`commonly provide bibliographic
`
`information, abstracts, and full-text copies of the indexed publications, along with
`
`a list of the documents cited in the indexed publication. These services also often
`
`provide lists of publications that cite a given document. A citation of a document
`
`is evidence that the document was publicly available and in use by researchers no
`
`later than the publication date of the citing document.

`
`
`
`
`IV. LIBRARY CATALOGING PRACTICES
`A. MAchine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) Standard
`26.
`I am fully familiar with the library cataloging standard known as the
`
`MARC standard, which is an industry-wide standard method of storing and
`
`organizing library catalog information.1 MARC was first developed in the 1960s
`
`by the Library of Congress. A MARC-compatible library is one that has a catalog
`
`consisting of individual MARC records for each of its items. Today, MARC is the
`
`primary communications protocol for the transfer and storage of bibliographic
`
`metadata in libraries.2
`
`
`
`1 The full text of the standard is available from the Library of Congress at
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/.
`
`2 Almost every major library in the world is MARC-compatible. See, e.g., MARC
`
`Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), Library of Congress,
`
`https://www.loc.gov/marc/faq.html (last visited December 12, 2019) (“MARC is
`
`the acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format that
`
`emerged from a Library of Congress-led initiative that began nearly forty years
`
`ago. It provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret
`
`bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most
`
`library catalogs used today.”). MARC is the ANSI/NISO Z39.2-1994 (reaffirmed
`
`2016) standard for Information Interchange Format.
`11
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 12
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`27. Since at least the early 1970s and continuing to the present day,
`
`MARC has been the primary communications protocol for the transfer and storage
`
`of bibliographic metadata in libraries.3 As explained by the Library of Congress:
`
`You could devise your own method of organizing the bibliographic
`information, but you would be isolating your library, limiting its
`options, and creating much more work for yourself. Using the MARC
`standard prevents duplication of work and allows libraries to better
`share bibliographic resources. Choosing to use MARC enables
`libraries to acquire cataloging data that is predictable and reliable. If a
`library were to develop a “home-grown” system that did not use
`MARC records, it would not be taking advantage of an industry-wide
`standard whose primary purpose is to foster communication of
`information.
`Using the MARC standard also enables libraries to make use of
`commercially available library automation systems to manage library
`operations. Many systems are available for libraries of all sizes and
`are designed to work with the MARC format. Systems are maintained
`and improved by the vendor so that libraries can benefit from the
`
`
`3 A complete history of the development of MARC can be found in MARC: Its
`
`History and Implications by Henrietta D. Avram (Washington, DC: Library of
`
`Congress, 1975) and available online from the Hathi Trust
`
`(https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015034388556;view=1up;seq=1; last

`
`
`
`
`latest advances in computer technology. The MARC standard also
`allows libraries to replace one system with another with the assurance
`that their data will still be compatible.

`
`Why

`
`28. Thus, almost every major library in the world is MARC-compatible.
`
`See, e.g., MARC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
`
`https://www.loc.gov/marc/faq.html (last visited December 12, 2019) (“MARC is
`
`the acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format that
`
`emerged from a Library of Congress-led initiative that began nearly fifty years ago.
`
`It provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret
`
`bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most
`
`library catalogs used today.”). MARC is the ANSI/NISO Z39.2-1994 standard
`
`(reaffirmed in 2016) for Information Interchange Format. The full text of the

`Congress

`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ (last visited December 12, 2019).
`
`29. A MARC record comprises several fields, each of which contains
`
`specific data about the work. Each field is identified by a standardized, unique,
`
`three-digit code corresponding to the type of data that follow. For example, a
`
`13
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 14
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`work’s title is recorded in field 245, the primary author or creator of the work is
`
`recorded in field 100, an item’s International Standard Book Number (“ISBN”) is
`
`recorded in field 020, an item’s International Standard Serial Number (“ISBN”) is
`
`recorded in field 022, an item’s Library of Congress call number is recorded in
`
`field 050, and the publication date is recorded in field 260 under the subfield “c.”
`
`Id.4 If a work is a periodical, then its publication frequency is recorded in field
`
`310, alternate publication frequency is recorded in field 321, and the publication
`
`dates (e.g., the first and last publication) are recorded in field 362, which is also
`
`referred
`
`to
`
`as
`
`the
`
`enumeration/chronology
`
`field.

`
`
`See
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd3xx.html (last visited December 12,
`
`2019).
`
`30. MARC records also include several fields that include subject matter
`
`classification information. An overview of MARC record fields is available
`
`
`
`4 In some MARC records, field 264 is used rather than field 260 to record
`
`publication information. See http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd264.html
`
`(last visited December 12, 2019) (“Information in field 264 is similar to
`
`information in field 260 (Publication, Distribution, etc. (Imprint)). Field 264 is
`
`useful for cases where the content standard or institutional policies make a
`
`distinction between functions”).
`
`14
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 15
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`through the Library of Congress at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/. For
`
`example, 6XX
`
`fields
`
`are
`
`termed
`
`“Subject Access Fields.”
`
` See
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd6xx.html. Among these, for example, is
`
`the 650 field; this is the “Subject Added Entry – Topical Term” field. See
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd650.html. The 650 field is a “[s]ubject
`
`added entry in which the entry element is a topical term.” Id. These authenticated
`
`subject entries “are assigned to a bibliographic record to provide access according
`
`to generally accepted thesaurus-building rules (e.g., Library of Congress Subject
`
`Headings (LCSH), Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)).” Id.
`
`31. Further, MARC records include call numbers, which themselves
`
`indicate a subject and physical location within the library collections. For
`
`example, the 050 field is the “Library of Congress Call Number.” See
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd050.html (last visited December 12,
`
`2019). A defined portion of the Library of Congress Call Number is the
`
`classification number, and “source of the classification number is Library of
`
`Congress Classification and the LC Classification-Additions and Changes.” Id.
`
`Thus, included in the 050 field is a subject matter classification. Each item in a
`
`library has a single classification number. A library selects a classification scheme
`
`(e.g., the Library of Congress Classification scheme just described or a similar
`
`scheme such as the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme or the National Library
`
`15
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 16
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`of Medicine Classification scheme) and uses it consistently. When the Library of
`
`Congress assigns the classification number, it appears as part of the 050 field. If a
`
`local library assigns the classification number, it appears in a 090 field. In either
`
`scenario, the MARC record includes a classification number that represents a
`
`subject matter classification.
`
`32. Each item in a library has a single classification number. A library
`
`selects a classification scheme (e.g., the Library of Congress Classification scheme
`
`just described or a similar scheme such as the Dewey Decimal Classification
`
`scheme) and uses it consistently. When the Library of Congress assigns the
`
`classification number, it appears as part of the 050 field, as discussed above. For
`
`MARC records created by libraries other than the Library of Congress (e.g., a
`
`university library or a local public library), the classification number may appear in
`
`a 09X (e.g., 090) field. See http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd09x.html

`(last visited December 12, 2019).
`
`B. OCLC Bibliographic Database
`33. The OCLC was created “to establish, maintain and operate a
`
`computerized library network and to promote the evolution of library use, of
`

`of rise of library per-unit costs, all for the fundamental public purpose of furthering

`
`OCLC and its members are responsible for maintaining the WorldCat database

`
`libraries
`
`throughout the world.
`
`34. OCLC also provides its members online access to MARC records
`
`through its OCLC bibliographic database. When an OCLC member institution
`
`acquires a work, it creates a MARC record for this work in its computer catalog
`
`system in the ordinary course of its business. MARC records created at the Library
`
`of Congress were initially tape-loaded into the OCLC database through a
`
`subscription to MARC Distribution Services daily or weekly. Once the MARC
`
`record is created by a cataloger at an OCLC member institution or is tape-loaded
`
`from the Library of Congress, the MARC record is then made available to any
`
`other OCLC members online, and therefore made available to the public.
`
`Accordingly, once the MARC record is created by a cataloger at an OCLC member

`institution or is tape-loaded from the Library of Congress or another library
`
`anywhere in the world, any publication corresponding to the MARC record has
`
`been cataloged and indexed according to its subject matter such that a person
`
`interested in that subject matter could, with reasonable diligence, locate and access
`
`the publication through any library with access to the OCLC bibliographic
`
`database or through the Library of Congress.
`
`35. When an OCLC member institution creates a new MARC record,
`
`OCLC automatically supplies the date of creation for that record. The date of
`
`creation for the MARC record appears in the fixed field (008), characters 00
`
`through 05. The MARC record creation date reflects the date on which, or shortly
`
`after which, the item was first acquired or cataloged. Initially, field 005 of the
`
`MARC record is automatically populated with the date the MARC record was
`
`created in year, month, day format (YYYYMMDD) (some of the newer library
`
`catalog systems also include hour, minute, second (HHMMSS)). Thereafter, the
`
`library’s computer system may automatically update the date in field 005 every
`
`time the library updates the MARC record (e.g., to reflect that an item has been
`
`moved to a different shelving location within the library). Field 005 is visible
`
`when viewing a MARC record via an appropriate computerized interface, but
`
`when a MARC record is printed to hardcopy, no “005” label appears. The initial
`
`field 005 date (i.e., the date the MARC record was created) does appear, however,
`
`18
`
`Juniper Ex. 1013-p. 19
`Juniper v Implicit
`
`
`
`
`
`next to the label “Entered.”6 The date upon which the most recent update to field
`
`005 occurred also appears, next to the label “Replaced.” Thus, when an item’s
`
`MARC record has been printed to hardcopy—as is the case with the exhibits to this
`
`report—the date reflected next to the label “Entered” is necessarily on or after the
`
`date the library first cataloged and indexed the underlying item.
`
`36. Once one library has cataloged and indexed a publication by creating
`
`a MARC record for that publication, other libraries that receive the publication do
`
`not create additional MARC records—the other libraries instead rely on the
`
`original MARC record. They may update or revise the MARC record to ensure
`
`accuracy, but they do not replace or duplicate it. This practice does more than save
`
`libraries from duplicating labor, it also enhances the accuracy of MARC records.
`
`It also allows librarians around the world to know that a particular MARC record is
`
`authoritative. In contrast, a hypothetical system wherein duplicative records were
`
`created would result in confusion as to which record is authoritative.
`
`37. The date of creation of the MARC record by a cataloger at an OCLC
`
`member institution reflects when the underlying item is accessible to the public.
`
`Upwards of two-thirds to three-quarters of book sales to libraries come from a

`00-05.

`
`jobber or wholesaler for online and print resources. These resellers make it their
`
`business to provide books to their customers as fast as possible, often providing
`
`turnaround times of only a single day after publication. Libraries purchase a
`
`significant portion of the balance of their books directly from publishers
`
`themselves, which provide delivery on a similarly expedited schedule. In general,
`
`libraries make these purchases throughout the year as the books are published and
`
`shelve the books as soon thereafter as possible in order to make the books available
`
`to their patrons. Thus, books are generally available at libraries across the country
`
`within just a few days of publication.
`
`C.
`Journals
`38. Catalogers can create MARC records for all types of print, online, and
`
`digital resources. For example, MARC records cover serial publications, including
`
`both serially-published monographs and journals. OCLC hosts MARC records for
`
`more than 320 million serial publications. Serial publications are those
`
`publications that have the same collective title but are intended to be continued
`
`indefinitely with enumeration such as a volume or issue number, e.g., magazines
`
`and journals. In the OCLC bibliographic database, the first issue of the serial
`
`publication is typically cataloged, i.e., a corresponding MARC record is created,
`
`but the date is left open-ended with the use of a punctuation mark such as a dash.
`
`OCLC serial publication MARC records represent the entire run of the serial title.
`

`
`
`
`
`
`With knowledge of the first issue published, future issues can be predicted based
`
`on the information provided in the MARC record, for example in field 362. In my
`
`extensive professional experience, is it highly unusual for a library to stop
`
`collecting and shelving a serial publication prior to the end of its publication run.
`
`If a subscription to a serial publication ends its run or is cancelled before the end of
`
`its run, the library will denote that it has stopped receiving new volumes by filling
`
`in the end date in the MARC record.
`
`39. The handling of printed journal subscriptions is shown on the covers
`
`of individual issues. As was the best practice among libraries, issues arrived at a
`
`central facility and were immediately received, verified as part of a subscription,
`
`checked in, and stamped with the institution’s name and date. Determining that the
`
`issue was part of the library subscription ensured that the entire set of publications
`
`for the year had been received so that they could be professionally bound and
`
`retained. This process also verified that all of the published issues arrived so that
`
`the library staff did not have to request or claim an issue that did not arrive as
`
`expected. In large public libraries with branches and multi-campus libraries within
