As it’s the end of term we want to reflect on the past year and the successes we've had in providing resources.
One challenge though has been the price hikes that took place for eBooks in comparison to print. Sussex academics working on reading lists this one's for you. 📣📣📣
First of all we’d like to thank @Hohojanna, @heroicendeavour & @rachelsbickley for starting the conversation, and @UoYLibrary, @HullUni_Library & @BirkbeckLibrary for their superb threads about the eBook market and why it’s so hard for libraries to get you the resources you need.
This issue impacts accessibility, the quality of access for teaching and research, low-income users who rely on libraries, and Sussex authors. There is an opportunity for decolonising work but it’s incumbent on publishers to work with us to provide eBooks in a sustainable way.
