Electronic Books (eBooks) are growing in popularity among avid readers. As a result, libraries have begun to integrate digital materials in their collections for patrons. However, commercially available publications often include some kind of digital rights management (DRM) that limit or prohibit sharing. As the eBook trend continues to grow, libraries themselves can become vital participants in the emerging models for eBook sharing, content creation and delivery.
