Method for loaning digital works
A method for loaning a digital work having one or more rights associated therewith within a system having repositories configured to enforce use of the digital work in accordance with the rights. A loan right is associated with a digital work and specifies how the digital work can be loaned. If a request for the digital work is valid, use of the digital work is transferred during a loan period from a repository to the requester in accordance with the loan. Loan right data for the digital work is then updated and use of the digital work by the requestor is deactivated upon exhaustion of the loan period.
