E-books and libraries

As a frequent user of the Ottawa Public Library system, and a recent adopter of a Kindle, it's clear to me that e-books have serious implications for libraries. Family historians, as significant library users, will be impacted.

There an interesting opinion piece, "Well done, HarperCollins: librarians must change old thinking, by Martin Taylor" in TeleRead which looks at options for change for public libraries.
