"As #ProQuest exits the print book market, will we see a new era of #bigdeals for #ebooks?"
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2025/02/21/as-proquest-exits-the-print-book-market-will-we-see-a-new-era-of-big-deals-for-ebooks/"Commercial publishers prefer institutions to sign up to a leasing #subscription model, as they offer little in the way of perpetual rights. This means that if a #Library decides to cancel, they have no owned content to show for their expenditure."
PS: I hope #libraries steer clear of this atrocious model. It uses their real need for access against them. If they're desperate enough to buy a subscription, they're letting their desperation lead them into a trap.

It found market distortions but decided 𝘯𝘰𝘵 to act — because of the then-recent rise of #OpenAccess. "It is too early to assess what will be the impact of this [digital publishing & access] but there is a possibility that it will be a powerful restraint on exploiting positional advantage in the STM journals market."

"#MIT leaders describe the experience of not renewing its largest journal contract [with #Elsevier] as overwhelmingly positive."
