This chapter identifies and examines areas where the use of digital content in a library context is different from print. It pinpoints the exceptions needed in copyright legislation to ensure effective information access through libraries in a digital environment, and highlights significant trends in the policy environment that are beginning to shape the way libraries may be able to use ebooks and other digital content in the future. The chapter also identifies emerg­ing issues in copyright law, where changes in content creation and distribution require attention from libraries to understand how public access and libraries’ ability to carry out their responsibilities may be affected, and where engagement in policy discussions may be appropriate for libraries and library organisations.
