And this month @JSTOR has reduced its monthly allowance of free articles by 90%, from 100 to 10. Why? Meanwhile, the local library has got rid of they physical runs of almost every journal "because they're on JStor anyway". So spend your rationed curiosity wisely, dear reader....

Google Books is becoming a desert. Its regress is real: the knowledge we were assured was both safely stored and freely available, which led libraries and schools to get rid of their books, has retreated into the shadows. The internet of 2026 knows less than the internet of 2010.

Why is Google Books removing access to out-of-copyright books that it once hosted as open access? There is a good chance that the mass-deaccession policy of libraries, on the ground that "it's available for free online", will be one of the most stupid acts of modern curatorship.
