"Perpetual access to government information is a foundational element of a democratic society," says @awakaruk. YES YES YES. #LibraryLeadersForum

So many of the conversations around #CDL and ebooks and copyright all circle around this concept of enforced digital scarcity, enforced by licensing and DRM and software, and facilitated by analog-era copyright law that is totally unfit for the digital age. #LibraryLeadersForum

The amazing @little_wow talking now about @library_futures at the #LibraryLeadersForum - Jennie and Library Futures have been fab supporters and partners-in-crime of #ebooksos practically since the beginning. 👋

Been said before but always bears repeating - a big thank you and round of applause to those authors supporting the @internetarchive! We need to stop thinking about digital libraries in analog copyright terms and seeing #ControlledDigitalLending as a threat! #LibraryLeadersForum

Love the idea of creating Democracy’s Library, a database of democratic governments’ public information and documents. The UK government is so bad about maintaining digital access to things, it can be so hard to find reports even only a few years old! #LibraryLeadersForum

Settling in with a nice bowl of soup for dinner and tuning in to the #LibraryLeadersForum, not a bad way to spend an autumn evening.
