I'd LOVE to see more input from librarians and academics, who, beyond being less interested in short-term commercial matters, can appreciate the glories of interbook linking, etc. Librarians at their best can add considerable value to e-books. If nothing else, stable archives can help linking---to the benefit of librarians and publishers alike. - David Hi, Ed.

Technology has had a huge impact on libraries. Not only have libraries had trouble keeping pace but library schools have even a harder time incorporating these new technologies into their programs. I am glad to see UIUC offering this class. Now if only libraries would get involved in helping establish e-book standards. Thanks for posting this. Technology has had a huge impact on libraries.
