Myth Busting: Controlled Digital Lending

/

The Internet Archive and Library Futures have announced a joint webinar:

“[T]his webinar will address the most commonly repeated myths about controlled digital lending, countering misinformation and disinformation about the library practice now in use by hundreds of libraries to provide digital book lending to millions of students, scholars and library patrons.

Especially at a time when countless school, public and college libraries are closed, understanding the realities about libraries and digital lending has never been more important.

Attendees will hear from authors, librarians, copyright specialists, and policy experts as they respond to the common misconceptions about libraries, digital book lending, copyright and controlled digital lending.”
