Anyone Up For Joining a Boycott?
/RF is a little late to the party on this, one, but coming late doesn’t preclude action.
Libraries in the Washington Digital Library Consortium have undertaken a boycott of Blackstone audio in response to the publishers embargoing the sales to libraries for 90 days.
As the linked post indicates, Blackstone has taken notice and is inquiring of its “strategic partner” [Amazon?] if sales to library vendors might go on without the embargo.
They have provided a helpful toolkit and are getting positive comments from patrons.
Anyone want to join?
Thanks to the libraries in Washington, and Arizona, Idaho, and Texas that have joined them, for leading the way!
