NISO's IS-CDL (Interoperable System of Controlled Digital Lending) Working Group began its work last year. It is developing a consensus framework in support of controlled digital lending of book content by libraries, to be published as a NISO Recommended Practice. This framework will describe existing practice and define best practices for many aspects of this relatively new service model. Through a NISO consensus process, the outcomes will expand understanding of CDL as an extension of existing rights held and practices undertaken by libraries for content they legally hold.
This presentation will provide an overview, update, and discussion opportunity."
