The paper attempts to provide an overview of the issues relating to e-books in libraries; summarize the current positions of publishers in both the scholarly publishing and trade publishing sectors; summarize the differences in the way that academic/research libraries and public libraries address the issue of digital collections; address the legal context for e-lending and library principles that must be upheld in any suitable models; and provide a detailed legal analysis of e-lending.
The e-lending environment is seen to be changing rapidly at this point in time, and the paper will be reassessed in the coming months in light of any significant developments. Revisions of the paper may take place in light of any assessment.
