That's all well and good, Mr. .com guys, but whether you have 2 or 2000 embargoed titles it makes littles difference, there should be NO embargoed titles. It serves no useful purpose for anyone except a possible minimal extra profit for the publishers/aggregators - IF ANY. This policy is a huge disservice to libraries and their users. As more and more libraries learn about this practice, I wouldn't be surprised if they began to balk at signing for this reason. We wouldn't sign. Tom -- Thomas L.
