Political Factoid
Macmillan Publishers* has a lending
model that severely "restricts public
libraries to only one copy of newly
released eBooks."
King County Library System (KCLS),
which "has 50 libraries in its system
and serves more than one million
residents, ... has been the top digital-
circulation library in the United States
for the last five years and third
worldwide."
The new Macmillian lending embargo
limits KCLS to "only one digital copy
for sharing among the 50 libraries."
