Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a reasonable improvement plan for e-book licenses as a prerequisite for the continued operation of library e-book services. The study aims to understand the fierce conflict surrounding e-book licenses between domestic libraries and the publishing industry and to propose solutions based on this understanding. To achieve this, the legal meaning of e-book licenses is analyzed, and the fundamental reasons for conflict between the publishing industry and libraries are examined in relation to the characteristics of e-books. In addition, various types of e-book licenses are classified, and the status of library e-book licenses and conflicts in major countries around the world, including Korea, the United States, Germany, France, and Japan, are investigated. Based on this, implications that can help resolve domestic issues are presented.
