Title: From Owning to Streaming: The Transition to Digital Media in Education
Description:
While consumers happily “Netflix and chill,” the state of digital media
within schools, libraries, and other educational institutions is
anything but “chill.”
Instead of purchasing to own and lend,
libraries and universities are forced to pay for ballooning subscription
costs that put significant restrictions on their ability to serve the
public and make it impossible for libraries and schools to fulfill their
missions. Despite enormous digital inequity, music, film, and even
printed materials are increasingly licensed to stream rather than own,
creating a tax on the public that disproportionately affects those with
less access to resources. As libraries see their collections of digital
media dwindle and the right to educational use is stripped by streaming
corporations, we ask ourselves: Will we ever achieve equitable access in
streaming media?
