How is OD supposed to give the library access to their content if the libraries no longer a customer? Should OD pay the DRM fees and other costs out of their own pocket?
The Kansas library budget is over $6 million IIRC. They just have to decide if they want to carve some space out of that to cover these fees or drop OD and go back to doing only physical media. Surely these fees and the fact that they're based on usage would have been in any agreement they made with OD in the first place.
