Can I lend e-books? How do I borrow e-books? As a result of consortial agreements, Millersville University has a license agreement to lend full e-books from a small number of publishers. I will explain my library’s process to fill these requests along with several issues that staff have overcome. In the future, how can we encourage publishers to allow for full e-book lending in contracts? Following the session, attendees will be encouraged to discuss ways to improve this process, identify e-books eligible for lending, and improve communication on the topic
