I received an email to vote for the best books of this year. I looked at all the books in all the categories, and I had not read a single one of the nominees. I DID have three or 4 nominated books on my "to read" list, but I probably wont get around to them until next year. This illustrates that any embargo by publishers will not have an effect on me, cause me any frustration with my library, and it also will not alter my choice to borrow or buy when I do get around to reading the book.
I do understand why libraries dislike the policy and want to oppose it, and I also agree that the embargo is not a big deal for libraries. All that's left is for publishers to agree that the embargo boost is not large enough to generate negative publicity, time will tell if that is true or not.
