Library Ebook Lending
“There is an overall disconnect between publishers and distributors of e-books and libraries throughout the state. The main roadblock is no stable pricing/licensing or availability from publishers to libraries. Some offer no titles, some charge exorbitant amounts, and some offer only selected titles. I think a standard policy of access and pricing, across the board is in everyone's best interest.”
Rep. Brian Sear,
47th Assembly DistrictConnecticut
