I agree with this comment from Rick 100% and is very driver of what we have done and are expanding upon at the University of Manchester. And the more libraries that get involved both increases our bargaining/purchasing power and leverages increased influence in pedagogy and student support within our institutions
Personally, I think textbook provision remains a huge area of opportunity for academic libraries, one that we ignore at our peril (and to the detriment of our students).
Best,
Dominic
