[Athen] epub textbooks and expiration dates

[Wershing, Alice D.]

Hello everyone,
I recently had an issue with an epub that blind student has been using for a course where the course spanned two semesters.  The epub purchased expired after 180 days.  Sighted students purchase a printed copy once, so our department paid for the renewal fee to continue access to the epub.

My questions are whether anyone else has run into this and how it's been handled, and also if anyone has thoughts on the expiration in general for students who would like to have the textbook as reference in the future?

Thanks for your thoughts-
Alice
