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
