Part 2 This is a time of great change in the publishing world. Four of the "big six" won't sell ebooks to libraries at all, and two have unsustainable models. So, Douglas County Libraries went their own direction to find a way to purchase content that their patrons desire, while encouraging publishers to work with libraries. They have signed contracts with over a dozen publishers, and are working with many more. Learn more about the way they took control of their eContent, and provided new ways to discover and utilize this collection.

Editor's Notes
- Have systems that allow users to augment, to turn into their own, and then when they do that, they becomemore invested in their library. Crowdsourcing a part of our collection development makes Patrons become more invested and sees the library as engaging with them and them with the library and this becomes very important in garnering support.
