You might have heard recently about Harper Collins decision to force libraries to re-purchase e-books every 27 checkouts of a book.
As one might expect, this has caused quite a controversy in the librarian community and the American Library Association.
I've never been directly involved in anything at the ALA, but I expect a lot from information professionals.
I never would have expected the President of the ALA to comment about this issue behind the login wall of Facebook, but apparently that's what she did. Librarian and anti-DRM activist Alycia's post about this -- titled Please Keep Our Conversations off Facebook -- is worth a read http://alycia.brokenja.ws/ALA
