I've put a few queries on the talk page...
I think the current response slightly misses the mark in terms of what the DCMS are looking at, and how it would/would not benefit Wikipedia.
Also, recommending our model of content creation should be done with extreme caution.

Hello everyone,
The DCMS is conducting a consultation on e-learning in libraries. The consultation period closes on Tuesday 6 November at 5pm.
It would be great if we could work together to come up with a response to the consultation.
I've created a page on the UK wiki which gives some more details and lists the themes that the consultation is interested in. Please do get involved at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/DCMS_consultation_on_e-lending_in_libraries
If contributions could be made and a final response reached by 3.30pm on Tuesday 6 November that allows us time to make a final submission.
Thank you for your help.
Stevie
