What?
Established by the KR21 programme, the Community of Practice provides a space to share experiences, exchange knowledge, and collaborate on practical solutions to the legal, market, and technological challenges affecting e-Books and e-Lending. Read more about the Community.
The Community builds on the principles set out in Safeguard Access, Empower Europe: An Action Plan to Let Libraries Be Libraries, and supports collective action to remove barriers that prevent libraries from fully delivering their public interest mission in the digital environment.

The Webinar
This first meeting will focus on e-Lending systems. To set the stage, Chair Stephen Wyber will give a high-level overview of where e-Lending in Europe stands today. We will then hear from expert speakers who will share distinct perspectives on the legal framework, e-Book platforms, and the practicalities of managing e-Lending today.
Afterwards, we’ll open the floor for discussion. We invite all members to share local initiatives, highlight pressing challenges, and help identify priority topics for our upcoming bi-monthly sessions.
Why You Should Attend
We’re building this Community together, as a space where colleagues can speak openly and freely about their experiences. Members are encouraged to suggest discussion topics, share resources, and contribute their expertise to help strengthen libraries’ ability to provide equitable access to digital content across Europe.
If you work at an academic institution, a library or library association, or in copyright law advocacy, please join us to contribute to the conversation.
