Abstract

In the 21st century, the ever-growing cost of textbooks (and of higher education in general) provides the reason to break the textbook economic model. Digital technology provides the means. All that is lacking is the will to say that we librarians refuse to continue providing life support to an economic model that serves the interests of neither students nor the academy.
