Library Services endeavours to make content available digitally via our reading lists, but e-books are not always as straightforward as they might appear.
As part of our ongoing work to ensure all students can access their essential readings, we want to support academics as curators of reading lists.
ebookSOS
A group of academic librarians, researchers, lecturers and students from across the UK have come together under the umbrella “ebookSOS”, and have compiled an open letter asking the government to investigate the academic publishing industry over its e-book pricing and licensing practices. To read and sign the open letter, and find out more, visit the Campaign to Investigate the Library Ebook Market. You can also follow the conversation on Twitter using #ebooksos.
