Nearly half of all books checked out by Columbus libraries are E-books, and that’s a problem. Digital books are more expensive than paper, costing libraries $75 for a two-year license of a single copy. Costs are rising, motivating librarians across the country to call for federal copyright reform.
This week on Tech Tuesday we discuss how Columbus libraries navigate the costs, scammers can be victims too and the latest on the Department of Justice's anti–trust lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
Guests:
- Dakota Rudesill, cyber law professor at Ohio State's Moritz College of Law
- Donna Zuiderweg, chief community engagement officer at Columbus Metropolitan Library
- Jennie Rose Halperin, director of library futures at New York University's Engelberg Center
- Russell Holly, managing editor for commerce for CNET
