When we buy e-books, do we own them?
Most we own; others we subscribe to. Here are a few examples of:
- e-books we own:
- Springer e-books (over 14,000 titles)
- Early English Books Online (EEBO)
- e-books we subscribe to:
- major reference works like the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and Britannica - because they are constantly updated
- Canadian Public Policy Collection (new content added each year)
- freely available e-books:
- RAND
