  • The Effect of E-Books on Publishers, Libraries, and the First Sale Doctrine
    File: Berube Created on: 4/2/2012 10:03:00 AM Last Printed: 4/2/2012 10:03:00 AM 63 A “LICENSE TO READ”: THE EFFECT OF E-BOOKS ON PUBLISHERS, LIBRARIES, AND THE FIRST SALE DOCTRINE RACHEL ANN GEIST* ABSTRACT E-books are rapidly displacing sales of books and transforming the way the American public understands and accesses information. Yet as e-books grow in popularity, the threat of piracy grows alongside them. Thousands of people search for pirated books online every day, and more are likely to follow, as e-books become the norm rather than the exception. To displace this threat, publishers convinced Congress to abandon the first sale doctrine in favor of a market theory that allowed publishers to license, rather than sell, their copy- righted works. Yet a decade later, Congress’s decision has not only failed to ensure publishers’ continued role as gatekeepers of literary content, but also stripped libraries of their ability to operate effectively in the digital age. As Congress sits back and watches, and the Supreme Court turns its back, libraries—the an- tithesis of a market entity—are at the mercy of market forces they can neither compete with nor control. Congressional action is needed to preserve the appli- cation of the first sale doctrine to publisher-library transactions and to guarantee the preservation of unfettered public access in the digital age. * J.D. Candidate, Emory University School of Law 2012; B.A., Vanderbilt University 2009. I would like to thank my family, especially my mother and my husband, for their encourage- ment, patience and support.

Specifically, this strategic plan is designed to help the library accomplish its mission of providing free and easy access to information, ideas, books and technology that enrich, educate and empower every individual in our city's diverse communities. The plan will also serve as a blueprint for building on the library's unprecedented success in providing new facilities, technology, materials and programs that benefit all the people of Los Angeles. Page 1 The firm Dubberly Garcia Associates, Inc. which specializes in library consulting, created the plan with input from library staff, the Board of Library Commissioners, the public, elected officials and other stakeholders. The firm also used information from the library's customer satisfaction survey, strategic technology plan, updated draft facilities plan, and other documents. The plan follows the widely accepted format of the Public Library Association's planning process. The Executive Summary presents an overview of the process and findings, while more detailed information is available in the appendices.

  • Public Library Websites As Electronic Branches: a Multi- Country Quantitative Evaluation
    PUBLISHED QUARTERLY BY THE UNIVERSITY OF BORÅS, SWEDEN VOL. 23 NO. 1, MARCH, 2018 Contents | Author index | Subject index | Search | Home Public library Websites as electronic branches: a multi- country quantitative evaluation Diane L. Velasquez and Nina Evans. Introduction. This paper describes the findings of a study of 1517 public library Websites in Australia, Canada, and the United States over a period of four years. These Websites are referred to as ‘electronic branches' of the libraries, thereby extending the definition of physical library branches into the digital realm. The purpose of the research was to investigate the accessibility of public library Websites, the available online resources and whether library staff are available to respond to users' questions and concerns regarding the Website. Method. A quantitative study was conducted, using a spreadsheet protocol to determine if 18 criteria were present on the Websites. General comments about the Websites were also recorded and included in the analysis. Analysis. The quantitative data analysis for the 1517 Websites was done using Excel spreadsheets through formula manipulations. Descriptive statistics are used to report the findings. Results. The data revealed that the Websites of Canadian and USA libraries include more of the criteria than the Australian libraries. Overall many similarities were found between the accessibility of the Websites of the different countries. Conclusion. The study provides exemplars of an electronic branch of a public library and the services it can offer to its community members. These examples can be used to model ideal electronic branch libraries for library staff to improve their Websites. Introduction Public library Websites are often the first, if not the main, point of contact that people have with their local library.
