SINGAPORE — Access to the National Library Board’s (NLB) subscription to Udemy Business will cease from Dec 15 due to changes in the online learning resource's licencing model and a “significant" cost rise, NLB said on Tuesday (Nov 7).

Online learning platform Udemy Business' services will no longer be available to National Library Board patrons from Dec 15

One user “hamiwin” said: “What can we do to make our voices heard? Udemy is damn useful. My plan is to politely ask them to reconsider renewing their subscription given how beneficial it is to residents.” “Books are also getting expensive especially IT books so does that means NLB should stop buying books? If not, why should it happen to e-learning?”In response to TODAY’s queries, NLB said that the decision to subscribe to specific e-resources is guided by its users’ needs, collection gaps, budget, and the costs as well as platforms’ business models.
