Hi Guys

Many apologies for cross-posting

I'm reaching out to you as a subject Librarian at the University of Kent (Canterbury).

I was wondering if you could share what your experiences have been with the rise of the e-textbook via aggregators such as VitalSource and Kortext etc...

Whilst I appreciate that these aggregators have been supportive during the COVID-19 situation, through effecting temporary free access to titles, their practice in 'normal' times has been very financially aggressive.

Do you have any policies etc.. with regards to this development?

Many thanks

Stay safe, stay well

Andy
