Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: Re: WEBINAR: "Charlotte Ebook Initiative: Overview & Next Steps"

[John Burger (jburger]

ASERL Friends:

A reminder that tomorrow we will offer a webinar focusing on an overview & 
discussion of next steps from leaders of the the Charlotte Ebook Initiative.  
An updated registration list is below, FYI.

Over the last two years, The Charlotte Initiative for Permanent Acquisition of 
E-books by Academic Libraries (http://charlotteinitiative.uncc.edu/), a 
research grant funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has been studying the 
current state of e-books in the academic market. At the heart of the project 
are three core principles proposed for e-book licenses: 
  • Provision of irrevocable perpetual access and archival rights. 
  • Allowance for unlimited simultaneous users. 
  • Freedom from any Digital Rights Management (DRM), including (but not 
limited to) use of proprietary formats, restricted access to content, or 
time-limited access terms. 

Throughout the life of the grant, groups of librarians, publishers, library 
vendors, and consortia leaders discussed how these principles effect licensing, 
user experience, course use, and platform/preservation of content.  Now that 
the grant period is coming to a close, project leaders will share findings and 
seek to keep the discussion going among our peers as the market continues to 
evolve.
