Reply to comment by SkinnySkins in Online Library Access by Adorable-Ad-3223

A national consortium of digital libraries would be dope! We have a consortium of digital resources held by academic libraries here in my province in Canada, it extends the resources available to the hundreds of thousands for students. It blows my mind thinking about it sometimes, but I'm a library nerd.

Publisher's really are an issue. Unfortunately we haven't figured out a distribution process that has no bias. I honestly think libraries are capable of taking over publishing.
