I see this situation as a great opportunity to educate our users about the curatorial, archival, and preservation functions of libraries. And also an excellent example of how information literacy can be used “in the real world.”

Increasingly, our collections are moving away from ownership to contracted usage rights.

As we continue to move towards digital object leases, we risk the loss of services and information which may in turn lead to a loss of knowledge. In the past, our collections withstood economic downturns because we owned the content. Can we expect the same to be true when we don’t own it?

Possible solution: Patron education and lobbying with other groups outside of librarianship that could be affected.
