Quotable Notables

From Information Today, it had some pretty interesting quotes about e-books. David Prichard, CEO on Ingrams said "People think of the world as being digital or print, but it really digital and print."

David Bowers, VP of Oxford UP said "In the future, libraries will provide apps as much as they are providing ebooks to today."

Tracy Armstrong, President of Copyright Clearance Center said "Usage is no longer stopping at the border, so neither is licensing."

Some pretty interesting ideas about the futures of libraries. The one overriding message is that libraries are dedicated to providing information to people, it is just the means of delivery is changing.
