Trade eBooks in Libraries examines the legal frameworks which gave rise to this phenomenon and advocacy efforts undertaken in different jurisdictions to remove barriers to library access. The principal authors provide a general historical overview and an analysis of library/eBook principles developed by a variety of library associations and government reviews. In addition, experts from twelve countries present summaries of eBook developments in their respective countries and regions.IFLA publications ;Volume 172.0344-6891LibrariesSpecial collectionsElectronic booksElectronic booksLibraries and electronic publishingLibrariesSpecial collectionsElectronic books.Electronic books.Libraries and electronic publishing.025.2/84AN 49100rvkWhitney Paul(Library consultant),753077De Castell ChristinaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788762203321Trade ebooks in libraries3835333UNINA
