After months of planning, the Library Futures Institute officially launched this week, a new 501c3 organization chartered to fight for a “technology-positive future” for libraries—including broader access to e-books and other digital content. Among the group’s priorities will be to advocate for “less restrictive licensing agreements for e-media and e-books” and for policies and licenses that would enable libraries to continue to fulfill the traditional roles libraries have played in the analog world in the digital space.
