Subject: [lis-e-resources] iBooks - how might these work for an institution
One of our academics has got in touch concerning iBooks and whether we would consider buying any -I'm guessing the difficulties of licensing any of this content would be impenetrable (as well as them being platform-exclusive!), but I'd be interested if anyone has had similar requests before and how you have responded....
Kind regards
Mark
