Intro to digital rights management for librarians
Mike Godwin from the Office of Information and Technology Privacy has written a 44-page primer to Digital Rights Management for librarians.

If you're the person at your library responsible for digital copyright or technical services, this is mandatory reading. But...this is not just for techies--it's for any librarian who orders (or helps patrons with) DVDs, CDs, databases, eBooks, or any other item that may have DRM embedded in it.
