> Controlled Digital Lending is a respectful and balanced way to bring our print collections to digital learners. A physical book, once digital, is available to only one reader at a time.
I never understood this "lending" practice. Can somebody explain? Sounds like obscurantism to me. So, if there is only one digitally scanned copy of an old book, only one person on planet Earth can borrow it? Because I remember a few times when I clicked on some document in IA and it said I couldn't read it "because it was borrowed".
I am also interested in this. So far this video [0] from CPPCon'18 is the most complete and fresh I managed to find. Other than that, GDB manual is okay (LLDB's is not complete, as seems to be the case with most LLVM-based tools).
