[Athen] epub textbooks and expiration dates

[kerscher at montana.com]

Hello,

 

Of course, if the title is available from Bookshare, the student could grab
it from there. The Bookshare titles never expire.

Subject: [Athen] epub textbooks and expiration dates

 

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
