Next week, American Library Association leaders will meet with executives from three of the biggest publishing houses in the U.S. to discuss a circulation model for those publishers' e-books. This meeting was initiated by ALA. Keith Fiels, ALA executive director, said, “I want to assure you that the dialog will begin with us saying ‘you need to deal with libraries and you need to do this as soon as possible,’ then we can have a dialog starting from there,” Fiels said. “I think for the membership, this is what’s keeping people awake at night.” Fiels's statement reflects a sense of urgency among libraries about our role in information provision and service to our constituents.
