“Under the new scheme, library users would have to come onto the library's physical premises to download an e-book at a computer terminal onto a mobile device, rather than downloading the book remotely. The scheme would also see the fee paid by a library to buy a book covering the right to loan one copy to one individual at any given time, and would require "robust and secure geographical-based membership" in place at the library service doing the lending.”

Conclusion
The Future!
Digital overtakes print...
...it’s just a matter of when.

MachineLearningJust gets better at dealing with meaning
I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
Douglas Adams said...
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
Adoption/Innovation Curvewhere are you? where are your patrons?
If I’d asked them what they wanted......they’d have said a faster horse. - Henry Ford
