They don't keep track in America. Too many systems. Like I said below, I do believe they keep track in Britain and send it to the publishers and the authors get a small royalty out of it.

What happens is the library purchases the e-book on a license. They have to keep track and after so many check outs buy a re-up of the license so to speak. I'd guess it was on the library to keep track, or it might be locked by DRM after so many check outs. The licenses cost 50 to 80 bucks for an ebook license depending on publisher. The check out number was fairly low too, but I can't remember exact numbers. There was an entire thing with MacMillan Press and a librarian spoke out on twitter about why it was bad.

This was back when I was active on twitter. It was pretty interesting.
