Kudos to the #Connecticut legislature for passing a new law on digital books and following the 2020 model legislation from #LibraryFutures.(@libraryfutures).
https://www.libraryfutures.net/post/connecticut-ebook-bill"After the governor signs, #publishers will no longer be able to
* Prohibit #libraries from #lending #ebooks on their own terms,, including via interlibrary loan (#ILL)
* Restrict #license terms or checkout limits during the term of a license without offering agreements on “commercially reasonable terms” that align with the library mission
* Limit when libraries can buy an ebook license or how many licenses they can buy
* Prohibit libraries from making #preservation #copies
* Require libraries to violate patron confidentiality." -
