With an institutional focus on distance education, e-books seemed to provide the obvious solution for how to serve users who will never come to campus. With our traditional users taking to e-journals immediately, we thought e-books would be a win-win solution. However, use statistics indicated that our e-book collections remain underutilized.

According to Marcus, digital technology creates two opposing cultures: one is creating works with copyright, another is illegally making use of those works. In the academic world, we are fear of copyright law, but outside the academic world we use the internet to download, mix and create another work. And this is where the Creative Commons arrives.
