Libraries are increasingly facing restrictive eBook licensing terms that can make digital books more expensive, less durable, and harder to preserve than print. In this live discussion, we explore a growing state-by-state movement to establish fairer terms for library eBook contracts—and what these laws could mean for libraries, publishers, authors, and readers. Joining the conversation are Kyle K. Courtney and Juliya Ziskina of the eBook Study Group, and Deborah Schander, State Librarian of Connecticut.
