DRM thwarts learning, again…

“We’re sorry, your library’s copies of this eContent are currently in use. Either try again later or use one of the options below.”

My information policy class at the School of Information provides students with many free resources online, including access to some books and articles which the university has subscribed to. Students must enter their uniquename and password, and then are able to view the electronic resources. Or so I thought. Looks like the service is just about as useful as providing one physical copy on reserve at the old library.
