A key priority for the working group is to advocate for a partnership mentality with publishers. Both sides love books and reading and want to celebrate this world with our customers and patrons. Advocacy efforts have lead to projects such as One eRead Canada and conversations with major publishing houses on how to work together to promote digital access to materials.
The DCWG also advocates for access to content not presently available to any public libraries, such as Amazon and Audible exclusives – and publishers are listening!
