Good Morning,

What will be the mechanism for the site to determine if a library owns
a physical copy of the book?

Hi all,

There was an ambiguous sentence in the initial press release that
we've since updated given some confusion that it caused. The sentence
"The entire backlist should be available by the end of 2017" is
replaced here by "The set of 1,500 deep backlist works should be
available by the end of 2017.”
