Article: What Does My Library Need to Know about Ebook Laws?

In this month's American Libraries Magazine "Letters of the Law," Mary Minor and  guest author Kyle K. Courtney "discuss the library ebooks landscape and state-level efforts to institutionalize fair licensing terms."  They are both steeped in law and libraries, so fitting that they tackled the following questions:

• What short- and long-term problems do libraries currently face with regard to ebooks? Why are states working on ebook bills for libraries?
• What do these state bills look like? How have they fared so far?
• Have there been attempts at the federal level to solve the ebooks issue? What comes next?

As you might imagine, even their brief answers are in-depth! Definitely worth reading.
