This has been a slowly developing crisis prior to the pandemic, and emerged as a massive challenge in supporting the move to online instruction and research during the pandemic; CNI heard a great deal about these problems during our executive roundtables over the past few years. At the most basic level, it frames the profoundly destructive effects of a move from the commerce in objects (perhaps in conjunction with practices such as controlled digital lending) to a licensing regime for digital materials, and provides a very important parallel case study to the unfolding disaster of ebook licensing and libraries.
