“…The e-lending has been an object of study for many researchers over recent years. Alipour-Hafezi and Khedmatgozar (2016) have identified that scholars predominantly focused on the topic of e-book specification, creation and software, as well as the perspectives of librarians and users. Another vital area of investigation is e-lending in the context of interlibrary loans and copyright issues in general.…”

The article explores the development of e-lending models for digital books (e-books and digital audiobooks) in public libraries from a comparative perspective, analysing cases in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Special attention is placed on the actors involved in developing e-lending models and the variations across Scandinavia. First, the legal prerequisites of digital books, licensing culture and policy context are linked. Next, the phenomenon of e-lending and e-lending models are introduced and discussed as a form of artificial friction. Then, based on a review of international and Scandinavian grey literature, the paper provides three chronological overviews of e-lending model development, seen as an interplay between publishers and public libraries. The comparison highlights the similarities between the three countries but also differences in preference for a particular e-lending model in involvement of policy actors, and in pace and character of the analysed processes. Differences are primarily attributed to variances in established collaboration practices between the identified actors of cultural policy, to already existing regulatory frameworks, and to the maturity of the digital book market.

“…With the growth of e-book collections, their lending is also increasing, and so also the literature on this topic. Alipour-Hafezi and Khedmatgozar 57 presented systematic review of literature on e-lending and identified gaps in research on this topic.…”

The research intended to identify current trends in research on e-books. Specifically it aimed to know the facets of e-books attended to by the research published during 2016. It also intended to review significant results and their supportive or contradictory nature with reference to each other.For this review research literature on e-books was searched from LISA, Emerald, Ebsco, Google Scholar and other databases using the statement ‘e-books OR ebooks’. The query was restricted to journal articles published in English language during January to December 2016. The review finds that the focus of current research on e-books is clearly on usage of e-books. Themes such as e-book collection development and management; search and discovery are also paid more attention to. Usage of e-books by children is emerging as a prominent area of e-book research. Designing of e-books and e-book reading devices are also topics of interest to e-book researchers. Many non-LIS disciplines and professions have interest in researching e-books.

In today's information-age world, most libraries use traditional borrowing methods. These conventional methods have some disadvantages such as torn and loss of books, and no access to books at that moment. In this paper, to overcome such disadvantages, we propose a novel e-book borrowing mechanism considering digital rights management. By combining the techniques given in this paper, e-books are protected against copying, distributing, printing and unauthorized use while borrowing and using. An infrastructure is designed for users to access books through electronic devices. In this structure, e-books are user-specific encrypted. Even if the e-book files are copied by unauthorized users, the key cannot be accessed by the copied device since the target platform doesn't have this key. Thus, the borrowed book is prevented from being used by an unauthorized user. Then, the borrowed books can be checked via cloud system technologies by sharing resources between devices. Moreover, even if the books are copied and distributed, the malicious user can be found via watermarking. The main difference to the previous studies is that QR code authentication, which is generated by public key cryptographic techniques, enables the use of books on different devices.
