[Michlib-l] PRH eBook Lending Terms: Changes Coming January 1

[Jim Flury]

Positive changes, imo...

1. No more one year licenses for Penguin eBooks. Instead, perpetual access, as Random House eBooks are now.

2. Reduction in price cap from $85.00 to $65.00 for PRH eBooks. 

Skip Dye, VP of library sales for Penguin Random House, is a true advocate for and friend of, public libraries at his company.
