The sharing and using of e-book in academic libraries at abroad have three main issues: (1) restrictions on the use of e-books by library readerss: restrictions on viewing, printing, downloading and transferring files, on digital rights management; (2) restrictions on library circulation and interlibrary loan: restrictions on the number and types of users, on circulation, on the use of e-books for course reserving, and on interlibrary loan; (3) restrictions on lending e-book readers (devices) in academic libraries: restriction on proprietary software and file formats, on the need for continual Internet access, and the potential for withdrawing content from users' devices. The most direct methods of responding to license restrictions are to unrestrictedly access to e-books from vendors, to work with other libraries and consortia to negotiate favorable license provisions, to try to purchase e-books under the terms accepted by suppliers, and to train users to develop good habits of using e-books.
Key words： academic library; e-book; e-books reader; license restriction
