Joint Statement on access to ebook titles. The failure of ebook & e-textbook publishers to provide stable and affordable access to key titles is failing students & teaching staff. @bufdg @CILIPinfo #ebooksSOS @Jisc @UKLibrariesNAG @RL_UK @SCONUL @supc_uk cilip.org.uk/news/619452/Jo…
NEW EPISODE TODAY! We chat with @tzu_ham about libraries in Ireland, how they adapt, how they support communities, challenges, successes and what lies ahead. Listen here: podbean.com/media/share/pb… #ebooksSOS
IMPORTANT re: obscenity of ebook pricing which amounts to a gross theft of public funds (via libraries) & the strangulation of library budgets. This also makes clear what I've long believed: supporting & using pirate libraries is a valiant act of civil disobedience. #ebooksSOS
We're a little embarrassed to admit this but we only just learned about what we believe is a really important campaign, led by UK librarians, to regulate the market of ebook publishing, which is more obscene than we ever knew. First, visit their website: academicebookinvestigation.org

Very informative; thanks to @heroicendeavour for putting #ebooksSOS hashtag on Liblicense. For us, no print course reserves Fall20 or Spring21, so more dependent on ebks than ever. I'll be following this hashtag with interest. @AcademicChatter
"Can my students read my books?" New guidance from #ebooksSOS for academics who would like to know more about how the publishers they publish with sell the ebook versions of their titles to academic libraries.

Thank you Caroline and #ebooksSOS. It’s a hard NO for WLIC 2024 in Dubai for me and @punctum_books. Do better @IFLA.

Thank you Caroline and #ebooksSOS for this statement. @IFLA needs to reconsider holding the WLIC meeting in Dubai in 2024 or else risk a widespread boycott.

READ this 🧵. Just read it. #ebooksSOS
On Friday, @planetmoney did an episode on libraries in ebooks. I waited on listening, knowing I'd have to take notes and rant about it, because most news coverage is so bad on this issue. Parts are really good. Other parts are... well... Get your popcorn.
Thanks to @cathalmccauley for updating @conulireland SIG on the excellent #ebookssos campaign, running in UK & Ireland, led & endorsed by @LAIonline @conulireland. Follow #ebookssos for updates
I hope that #UKSG2021 delegates enjoyed my breakout session with the wonderful @Hohojanna . See you at our live q & a session tomorrow #ebookssos

New powers for the Digital Markets Unit to challenge monopolies. Potentially good news for the #ebookssos campaign
True, having to draw students attention to the book "availability" during an information lit session and how this differs from ebook to ebook seems like some bad PR, not very helpful and user friendly #ebookssos #informationliteracy #backwardthinking
Joint statement issued from @Jisc, @sconul, @bufdg, @CILIPinfo, @UKLibrariesNAG, @RL_UK, @supc_uk & #ebookssos condemns Wiley’s withdrawal of ebooks and states how communications and code of conduct must be improved. sconul.ac.uk/sites/default/…
Every time I even think about @WileyGlobal & #ebooksSOS I just want to wait outside Wiley headquarters and bite the ankles of their corporate honchos. Throw me a few hot dogs 🌭 and I’m on it.

I shall nip at the heels of @WileyGlobal. Better yet, I shall bite them. Even better, I will wait on a window ledge & when their staff come by I shall leap from the ledge, land on their shiny heads and dig in my claws. Listen, I'm a chihuahua and I need the advantage. #ebooksSOS
Dr Philip de Souza @ClassicsUCD @ucddublin has advised @LAIonline that he will cease his work as a contributor to the Wiley Encyclopedia of Ancient History (EAH) due to @WileyGlobal “disgraceful action with regard to its ebook collections, of which the EAH is a part.” #ebookSOS
Pretty much the best reasons to follow @heroicendeavour. 3 barks! Yes, I am a dog and I need treats & no, I won’t pay TPCs (Treats Processing Charges)! Also follow tweets at #ebooksSOS I’m ready for my treats now.
I bounce between #ebookSOS, Wikipedia, general library ramblings, screeds against the publishing industry, musing about decolonisation, anti-racism, and copyright, mixed in with random real life, my failure as a grown-up, clothes, shoes, fanfiction and occasional thirst tweets.
IMPORTANT re: obscenity of ebook pricing which amounts to a gross theft of public funds (via libraries) & the strangulation of library budgets. This also makes clear what I've long believed: supporting & using pirate libraries is a valiant act of civil disobedience. #ebooksSOS
