This might have discussed here before, extremely sorry if I am duplicating.

I am seeing some publishers already started publishing their books
with copyright year 2014. Interestingly these titles are available in
print to purchase right away, but not included in ebook package for
2013.

Libraries paid for the 2013 ebook package, will have access to titles
with 2013  as copyright year only. If some one want that 2014 title
now, buying print is the only option, then off course duplicate with
2014 package next year.

Do you see a very tricky strategy here? Can publishers publish books
with CR 2014 now, we have just completed 5 months of 2013!!
