{"title":"Tips from the trenches","authors":"Denise A. Garofalo,","doi":"10.1080/1941126x.2023.2197753","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1941126x.2023.2197753","url":null,"abstract":"Over time, publishers of ebooks and eAudiobooks have changed the way they offer these materials to libraries. One change is in regards to DRM (Digital Rights Management). DRM is essentially a means to control unlawful use, to prevent online piracy of copyrighted material. DRM can restrict who can access that ebook, curb the amount of ebook content that can be copied or downloaded, limit how long downloads can be stored on a user’s personal device and which applications and/or e-readers that can be used, and impact the clarity or blurriness of the ebook image (Roach, 2023). There is no standard DRM technology. DRM is a form of controlled digital lending, or CDL. Basically, DRM is described as a means to control intellectual property, but is seen as a way to manage digital rights (American Library Association, 2009). A basic tenet of libraries is to provide access to rights-protected content in whatever format that content exists, in a manner that protects both the content creator and the privacy of the user. Proprietary DRM technology and its lack of standards or interoperability among ebook vendors impacts how library users interact with and access digital content, leading to frustration when accessing and reading digital files and worries about how their privacy and use of that content may be tracked. Many library users have been vocal about how DRM has challenged their ability to access information online (Lemmer & Wale, 2016). Libraries are aware of user opinions regarding DRM. Add into the eresource mix the changing landscape in regards to the licensing of content. Licensing eresource content is a form of contract, and eresource librarians may have the responsibility to negotiate such contracts on behalf of their library. Eresource content providers are increasingly employing restrictive or metered licensing models, such as licenses that expire after a specified period of months (generally 12 or 24months) or after a limited number of uses or checkouts. “Increasingly, books are something that libraries do not own but borrow from the corporations that do” (Gross, 2021, p. 1). Heeding the voices of library users and libraries for greater digital access, some states have attempted to legislate such, so that publishers offer “reasonable” ebook licenses to libraries. Maryland passed such a law, but in 2022 it was ruled unconstitutional and unenforceable by a federal court. Tennessee, Rhode Island, and a few other states were considering similar laws. These efforts are being revised in light of the federal ruling on Maryland’s law.","PeriodicalId":39383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41842784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only 33.1% of the participants could distinguish between scholarly and non-scholarly sources of information. A very weak correlation was registered between the actual and the self-evaluation skill levels.

The Midwinter Conference is held annually in early February. The 2023 conference was held virtually on February 3 (9:30 am–4:15 pm EST), and was free, even for those who are not members of SUNYLA. The conference included 12 30-minute sessions with several breaks and remarks from the conference organizers. All sessions were live, with question-and-answer sessions after, or prerecorded with live question-and-answer sessions after with the presenters. All sessions were recorded. The 2023 conference can be found freely available at https://sunyla.org/sunylamidwinter-2023/. This year’s conference, focused on library data, was titled “Library Data: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.” The overall focus on library data included learning about useful methods and tools for use with data. The specific focus was on handling, analyzing, and sharing data, particularly with COUNTER 5 and SUSHI data. While primarily focused on data around electronic resources, some sessions also included data around the usage on print resources using the library systems platform (LSP) reporting tool.","PeriodicalId":39383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46093117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
