Living in a low-population state (only one really large city, the rest of the state is pretty rural), consortia are the only way our libraries can operate. My little local library has ebooks, but only because we belong to the state consortium. We also belong to a different consortium for p-books, but I don't hear anyone complaining about that.
Meemo is right - for a lot of libraries, it's either consortia or no ebooks at all.
I really don't understand the publisher war on libraries - as I stated earlier, it's a monstrous case of biting the hand that feeds you. Biting it clean off.
