      1. Ex Libris Group and Innovative Interfaces, Inc. are both owned by Clarivate which is owned by Onex Corporation and Baring Private Equity Asia. OverDrive, Inc. is owned by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Libraries give them hundreds of thousands of pounds a year. @StiggeMe/1787095209999737077

      The records of which books you have read on OverDrive and which films you have watched on Kanopy are ultimately not in the control of your library, they are in the control of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., the private equity and investment firm.

    Possibly a coincidence but a day after posting this tweet about Ex Libris Group being owned by Clarivate, I got an email from a Clarivate journalist wanting to talk to me about Rhysida's attack on the British Library.
