Library Futures Introduces “E-Books for Us” Website
From Library Futures:
Last year we proposed model e-book legislation to protect libraries from harmful e-book contracts, and since then we and our partners have been working with communities across the United States to tackle e-book contracts state by state. We’re proud to report e-book legislation is gaining traction, such as in Massachusetts and Tennessee. Still, we sometimes find ourselves preaching to the choir.
