Quote from the article: "Indeed, Sendze said that her library has a budget of $850,000 to buy e-books, “but we can’t find enough e-books to buy, because publishers won’t sell them to us.”"
There it is again, the "publishers won't sell them to us" thing. Why oh why does anyone need to purchase the file from the publishers? They should simply purchase the ebook from anywhere it is for sale and loan it out as normal. I think it comes down to this "ebooks are licensed not sold" nonsense. Our lawmakers need to put a stop to this as soon as possible...
