Kansas State Library's Facebook campaign targets top publishers’ e-book policies (USA)

The Kansas State Library has launched a social-media campaign against what it says are unfair practices to keep bestselling electronic books out of the hands of libraries and their patrons. Library officials have started a page on Facebook, www.facebook.com/thebig6ebooks, "bringing attention to the titles publishers are refusing to sell (as) e-books to libraries, price gouging or limiting checkouts per copy purchased."
