Berkman Center releases “E-Books in Libraries: A Briefing Document”

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society has released "E-Books in Libraries: A Briefing Document Developed in Preparation for a Workshop on E-Lending in Libraries," authored by David O'Brien, Urs Gasser, and John Palfrey. The paper was created to prepare for the Berkman Center's "E-Books in Libraries" workshop, which was held on February 24, 2012. Thanks to a collaborative effort from industry stakeholders, practitioners, and other authorities the briefing examines the shifting paradigm in the digital publishing industry and the consequent issues of access and copyright.
