Matt Enis, Library Journal; Tor, OverDrive Comment on Library Ebook Embargo
"In a move that has raised concern throughout the library field,
Macmillan in July announced that it would be testing a four month
embargo on selling new ebooks published by its Tor imprint to libraries.
The publisher said the test would help it determine whether library
lending is having a negative impact on retail ebook sales. For
libraries, the embargo recalled a time less than a decade ago when many
major publishers refused to license ebooks to libraries altogether."
