toes in terms of what is happening! Last week she emailed me a copy of information from her public library regarding new publishers’ policies and their impact on eBook access. As many of you may already know, four major publishers, Blackstone Audio, Simon
& Schuster, Macmillan and Hachette, have created new policies which, although not identical, all prove costly to public libraries. Depending upon the publisher, libraries may now be limited in the number of digital copies they can purchase, be charged prices
exceeding those of individual consumer prices or be forced to wait to purchase copies only after retail outlets have been able to sell the digital copies for an extended period. What that means for our patrons is that in most cases, there will be fewer available
copies and increased wait times for digital materials. Patrons who are unable to afford access to digital copies in any other manner will be most impacted. Increased charges will also impact collection budgets. Most significantly however, is the fact that
the decisions on the part of these four publishers makes it much more difficult for public libraries to do what they are charged to do – provide access to information for everyone. ALA, PLA and library professionals have been vocal in their opposition to
these new policies and ALA is currently crafting a strategy to address the changes long-term. Wanda Brown, ALA President, has issued a statement and a call to advocacy. If you are concerned about the impact of these decisions on your community,
