"L'ALIA (Australian Library and Information Association) a publié le rapport "Elending Landscape Report 2014". C'est le fruit d'un travail de réflexion mené conjointement par le consortium des bibliothèques publiques australiennes (National and State Libraries of Australasia) et le conseil des bibliothèques universitaires australiennes (Council of Australian University Librarian). Ce rapport propose un panorama des projets de prêt numérique portés par les bibliothèques publiques au Canada, aux États-Unis et en Europe afin de trouver des pistes de solution "alternatives" pour les bibliothèques publiques australiennes."
