117. Libraries, Buying eBooks, and Diverse Historicals: An Interview with Librarian Dena Heilik - a podcast by Sarah Wendell - Romance Novel Reviewer, Reader, and Author

Dena Heilik sent us an email awhile back when we discussed briefly the process of buying ebooks for libraries. Dena is the department head of Philbrick Hall, the fiction & DVD Department at the Central Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, and she had a lot of things to say about building a digital collection of romance. We discuss the fact that all digital titles from HarperCollins and now Harlequin and Carina titles have a 26-checkout limit for libraries, and the other frustrations of increased ebook prices with metered limits on checkouts when dealing with an ever-decreasing library acquisition budget.
