“We are moving from owning physical content to licensing digital ones,”
said Simonetta Vezzoso, copyright consultant at the Associazione Italiana
Biblioteche (Italy). This is an ongoing and increasingly important

content, but amounts spent on content differ dramatically, *said Ellen
Broad, manager of digital projects at IFLA. There is little transparency in
costs across suppliers, Vezzoso added.
