The Authors Guild has started the new year with a bang. First, the group, which represents the interests of writers, asked the Supreme Court to review an October appeals court ruling, which upheld Google's right to digitize out-of-print books without an author's permission. A few days later, the guild addressed a separate issue when it released a letter to publishers demanding better contract terms for authors.

Mention the word outline in a room full of writers, and you're sure to ignite a firestorm of passionate debate. Writers either love outlines, or they hate them. We either find them liberating, or we can't stand how confining they are.

Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Boston on a topic I follow closely: the state of the e-book market, and what libraries can expect going forward.
