Aug 28, 2001
Good analysis by the University of California'sCRLF Ebook Task Force. Raises some technological issues but focuses on rights management, quoting oneCRLF respondent who said, "Print has many rights and powers that e-books don't. We like e-books but weCRLF must not allow ourselves to be locked into technology or legal/social paradigms that impair our abilityCRLF to support open research, teaching, and public discourse of our community. We will favor vendorsCRLF who support open process of scholarship and long-term preservation so we will not rush intoCRLF e-books." Vy Lucia Snowhill, D-Lib Magazine, July/August, 2001.
