The debate over #ebooks and #libraries represents a key frontline in the wider debate around digital ownership and the privatisation of access to knowledge. Great insights from @KyleKCourtney in this piece for @thehill

By making care experience a protected characteristic we can ensure all future care leavers are treated as equal. #changeiscoming children in care are still children.

A great message from @barbaragen on the views of authors and translators to digital lending. They might not be fully aware of the facts. #emptylibrary

[KnowledgeRights21 @KR21org]

Despite being recruited into noisy campaigns against #eLending, it appears that authors seem not to be kept informed by others about the reality of library #eLending and their own remuneration from this.

Schleihagen highlights lack of availability of #ebooks in German public libraries #EmptyLibrary #ebooksos

[KnowledgeRights21 @KR21org]

Getting #libraries' right to eLend into national law is not fantasy - here's what the German Federal Council (Bundesrat) approved just last year!

Financially sustainability - ebooks are always more expensive, up to 20 times more. As public services our budgets can’t sustain increases like these. The licensing models used by suppliers/publishers - sneaky. #emptylibrary

It was great to hear @ccwild79 in conversation with Sara Davies today. An insightful session on kids in the care system, his own experiences in care, his work to change how we perceive and care for these kids. Thank you.
