William Sieghart. An Independent Review of E-Lending in Public Libraries in

Via sanzur (Sandra Zurita)
sanzur (Sandra Zurita)'s curator insight, May 20, 10:29 AM

Se explican las conclusiones de un grupo de trabajo intersectorial para redactar consejos a la hora de poner en marcha un servicio de préstamo digital en las bibliotecas públicas.

Marianela Camacho Alfaro's curator insight, May 21, 10:10 AM

Principales propuestas:

El préstamo de libro digital debe emular, tanto como sea posible, el del préstamo impreso. El préstamo se debe ofrecer de forma gratuita al usuario.El usuario debe poder solicitar el préstamo de forma remota.Cada copia de un libro digital debería prestarse sólo a un lector, emulando también el préstamo físico. Por tanto, habría que pactar aquí el número de copias que permite cada libro.Se debe considerar que las copias digitales también tenderán a deteriorarse y habrá que prever una nueva compra después de un cierto número de préstamos.Atender las leyes de los derechos de autor del préstamo digital o extender las que imperan en el mundo físico también al libro digital, los audio y e-audiobooks.
