Hello Jennifer,<br>
<br>
I'm sure it has to do with recent news reports that Harper Collins
wants to restrict U.S. libraries from circulating its e-book titles
only 26 times. Here's a link to one of the news accounts:<br>

with Harper Collins? And then, what is she interested in knowing
- how is media purchased? How is it checked out? How is it made
accessible?<br>
<br>
There is very little commonality within a single type of media,
much less among different types of media. Is she asking about
feature films, educational films? Playing music from CD,
subscribing to services, gaining database access to films? Playing
audio books from CD or on players? there are lots of
possibilities here. I am on a couple of media listservs and there
are often more questions than answers. And I didn't even mention
copyright issues...<br>
<br>
Could you gain more clarification on the question?<br>

What are the contract arrangements commonly used for library
copies of music CDs, movie DVDs, and audio books?<br>
<br>
from a non-librarian reader of the list, apparently not able
to post (that's okay!)<br>
