But surely we don't want to settle for anything less than 100%! And
what about those who are not served by the research libraries, wouldn't
it be wonderful if they could get access as well?
'Enlightened licensing' may put us in a better position than we were in
before, but it is still sub-optimal.

I think the CILIP response ignores the fact that new licensing
arrangements
from publishers have actually significantly increased the percentage of
available literature which library patrons can now access. I'm not
saying
it's anything like 100 percent, but it is much improved
