You know, I really wish we just had an RSS feed into the LSW room for everything that Barabara Fister writes and says. Such as http://www.insidehighered.com/blogs...
Either my brain is seizing up or there's no simple way to pull a FF feed into another FF feed. Using the generic RSS feed methods don't seem to work.

"So now book publishers want to level the playing field by licensing packages of digital books to libraries." - Happening here already. It's like on the other end of the spectrum to PDA. But either way, there goes a part of collection development duties? ..

The plan JSTOR is working on will allow choice, btw. I suppose larger libraries will say "just give us one of each" but I'll be happier with title-level choice.

I could be wrong (I don't know much about such things) but MPOW, I suspect the reason we not going for PDA is cos we will be buying like huge packages of ebooks. But they tend to be delayed. So you get 2012 set of say T&F ebooks at beginning of 2013. In the meantime librarians do need to select *any*, and we just process the few that faculty asks for (kind of a PDA). Don't know how to feel about that.
