Hello Ann,

Further to your call out for other DRM-free publishers, OECD has always
been DRM-free since it first started its digital publishing programme in
the late ‘90s, and the catalogue of titles available on OECD iLibrary
<http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/> is split amongst 17 different
socio-economic and environmental subject areas.

Best regards,

We saw a release today that Bloomsbury Publishing/Digital Resources is
now offering its e-book collection through EBSCO’s GOBI platform.
While liblicense-l doesn't normally post notices of new products for
sale, this one caught my eye for offering “more than 8,000 individual
DRM free eBooks across 22 subject areas and more than 170 eCollections
available on Bloomsbury Collections.”

Given that their collection embraces a variety of well-known ‘brands’
(Arden Shakespeare, I.B. Tauris books), this is a noteworthy offer.
Are there other major e-book offerings that are DRM free?  We'd be
glad to hear of any, and also to receive comments on the approach for
posting here.
