I stumbled across an interesting post today. I had wondered what had happened to cause the San Francisco library to retract their eCards. According to librarian.net:
"EBSCO made a bold move recently claiming that libraries that offer e-cards [for accessing electronic library resources from home] are violating their licensing agreement."
The posting continues, but also mentions how this Boston Public Library is handling the situation.
"Boston Public Library is taking a different tack and keeping the e-card program and dropping remote access to EBSCO. Both libraries have to curtail services — and SFPL is changing their e-card policies fairly dramatically — because of this."
I'm adding librarian.net to my RSS feeds - it looks like it has some good stuff! The previous post to the one regarding eCards was a post about the top 10 apps for iPhones. :)
