`
`
`DECLARATION OF JUNE ANN MUNFORD
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`EX-1015
`Microsoft Inc. v. LiTL LLC
`
`
`
`1. My name is June Ann Munford. I am over the age of 18, have personal
`
`knowledge of the facts set forth herein, and am competent to testify to the
`
`same.
`
`2. I earned a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the
`
`University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2009. I have over ten years of
`
`experience in the library/information science field. Beginning in 2004, I
`
`have served in various positions in the public library sector including
`
`Assistant Librarian, Youth Services Librarian and Library Director. I have
`
`attached my Curriculum Vitae as Appendix CV.
`
`3. During my career in the library profession, I have been responsible for
`
`materials acquisition for multiple libraries. In that position, I have cataloged,
`
`purchased and processed incoming library works. That includes purchasing
`
`materials directly from vendors, recording publishing data from the material
`
`in question, creating detailed material records for library catalogs and
`
`physically preparing that material for circulation. In addition to my
`
`experience in acquisitions, I was also responsible for analyzing large
`
`collections of library materials, tailoring library records for optimal catalog
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`search performance and creating lending agreements between libraries
`
`during my time as a Library Director.
`
`
`4. I am fully familiar with the catalog record creation process in the library
`
`sector. In preparing a material for public availability, a library catalog record
`
`describing that material would be created. These records are typically
`
`written in Machine Readable Catalog (herein referred to as “MARC”) code
`
`and contain information such as a physical description of the material,
`
`metadata from the material’s publisher, and date of library acquisition. In
`
`particular, the 008 field of the MARC record is reserved for denoting the
`
`date of creation of the library record itself. As this typically occurs during
`
`the process of preparing materials for public access, it is my experience that
`
`an item’s MARC record indicates the date of an item’s public availability.
`
`
`5. Typically, in creating a MARC record, a librarian would gather various bits
`
`of metadata such as book title, publisher and subject headings among others
`
`and assign each value to a relevant numerical field. For example, a book’s
`
`physical description is tracked in field 300 while title/attribution is tracked in
`
`field 245. The 008 field of the MARC record is reserved for denoting the
`
`creation of the library record itself. As this is the only date reflecting the
`
`inclusion of said materials within the library’s collection, it is my experience
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`that an item’s 008 field accurately indicates the date of an item’s public
`
`availability.
`
`
`6. I have reviewed Exhibit 1008, Microsoft Windows Vista: Step by Step by
`
`Joan Preppernau and Joyce Cox.
`
`
`7. Attached hereto as Appendix PREPPERNAU01 is a true and correct copy of
`
`the MARC record for Microsoft Windows Vista: Step by Step as held by the
`
`Eisenhower Public Library District. I secured this record myself from the
`
`library’s public catalog. The MARC record contained within Appendix
`
`PREPPERNAU01 accurately describes the title, author, publisher, and ISBN
`
`number of Microsoft Windows Vista: Step by Step. In comparing Exhibit
`
`1008 to Appendix PREPPERNAU01, it is my determination that Exhibit
`
`1008 is a true and correct copy of Microsoft Windows Vista: Step by Step by
`
`Joan Preppernau and Joyce Cox.
`
`
`8. The 008 field of the MARC record in Appendix PREPPERNAU01 indicates
`
`the date of record creation. The 008 field of Appendix PREPPERNAU01
`
`indicates Eisenhower Public Library District first acquired this book as of
`
`January 9, 2007. Considering this information, it is my determination that
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`Microsoft Windows Vista: Step by Step was made available to the public
`
`shortly after its initial acquisition as of January 9, 2007.
`
`
`9. I have been retained on behalf of the Petitioner to provide assistance in the
`
`above-illustrated matter in establishing the authenticity and public
`
`availability of the documents discussed in this declaration. I am being
`
`compensated for my services in this matter at the rate of $200.00 per hour
`
`plus reasonable expenses. My statements are objective, and my
`
`compensation does not depend on the outcome of this matter.
`
`
`10. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. I
`
`hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to
`
`be true; and further that these statements were made the knowledge that
`
`willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or
`
`imprisonment, or both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States
`
`Code.
`
`
`
`Dated: 1/22/2024
