Read all about ESG's very own Yuliya Ziskina, profiled in SPARC's Impact Stories this week! There is a lot of good she puts out in the world beyond just #library advocacy! Read and be amazed! “Our democracy starts with available information, and public access to research and knowledge,” Yuliya said. “This is the fundamental way that we protect our civil rights and our civil liberties. When that clicks for people, they understand the importance of open and what it means for our entire democratic future.” https://lnkd.in/eHJWvaQz

"Libraries offering free access to a diverse collection of books can pave the way to psychological peace." https://lnkd.in/gq9evKfu

Very pleased to be interviewed by NPR for being the "legal architect" (their words which I am going to use!) about new #eBook state laws I drafted w/ Yuliya Ziskina that are now being introduced into many states. Please have a listen/read! We've been working on this for 2 years (or more) through the non-profit I founded (eBook Study Group). It's exciting because a few states are on the cusp of passing the law! Fingers crossed! (Living out the "I'm just a bill" song from my youth) https://lnkd.in/e-DJwyqd #eBooks #licensing #libraries
