https://www.researchinformation.info/news/clarivate-issues-letter-to-the-library-community/"We acknowledge that…ownership [is] essential to libraries’ missions, and is the primary way you acquire content. Subscription models are just one component of your collection and access strategies. Our ebook subscriptions are not designed to replace perpetual front-list and textbook purchases and budgets…We remain unequivocally committed to preserving perpetual access to previously purchased Ebook Central titles."
But only to previously purchased titles, and future books purchased through #Rialto. The atrocious model stands for other #books purchased after June 30, 2026.
