Amazon lifted KU exclusivity for libraries. More information in this article from New Shelves. My question is to the librarians among us. Will your libraries be taking advantage of this feature? Is this something useful or will this have no bearing on your library collections?
Working Monday
It’s a working Monday. I have no news to share and no announcements to make. I have a cup of tea and a file opened in front of me. Some people find the blank page intimidating, but to me it is always exciting. It’s full of possibilities. You can go anywhere. Do anything. And then
