COLLIB-L, the listserv of the ACRL College Libraries Section, is giving us a lot of good material here at LISNews. As a sort of a sequel to my article in Library Juice 3:27, Questioning Questia, I published (with permission) a thread of discussion on that listserv about Questia, the virtual library product that will bypass academic libraries themselves and go straight to the student. (You don\’t need a musty, crusty old institution, fork over your beer money and get your books in e-form, all set for cutting and pasting!) I\’m worried about Questia and I hope they change their business plan and become a vendor to libraries.
What do you think?
