What Are "Reasonable" Costs for Library Digital Content: Free Webinar

The Digital Shelf: Sustainable Library Ebooks (2/24, 2 pm Eastern)

 The last decade has brought many challenges to providing digital content in libraries. Unfavorable license terms, with costs often far more than libraries pay for print, have made ebooks and digital audiobook collections difficult to grow and sustain. In this free webinar, we will discuss some ways to librarians are working to meet these challenges, including metrics that foster lower costs per use, a discussion about what costs might in fact be "reasonable" for digital, and some new license types--including ownership--that might help.
