Note that pricing of ebooks for libraries is higher than for consumers - https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-scoop/the-future-of-ebook-pricing/ https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-scoop/the-fu... >Among the Big Five publishers (HBG, HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, PRH, and S&S), pricing for one copy remains excessively high, in the $50 range for two years of library access, compared with the $15 range for perpetual access by consumers. Four of the Big Five now employ a two-year access model, which poses challenges to collection development and preservation. Note also that ebooks come with restrictions that inhibit inter-library loans.
