Librarians Go All Newsies on Harper Collins

Okay, so maybe not exactly "Newsies" but librarians around the libriosphere are calling for a boycott on Harper Collins until the publisher agrees to their demands.  If you will remember from my earlier post, the big HC placed a 26 checkout limit on all ebooks and that make librarians angry.  And you would not like them when they are angry.  They get all hivey.

How shall this story end, eh?  Big dance number?  The greedy publisher crumbling to the demands?  Godzilla?  We shall see.  I will keep you posted unless I get bored with the whole thing.  Then I will photoshop a bun on the Hulk.

Check out the USA Today article covering the whole thing.
