Hi Jennifer and all,
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if any of you purchase your individual E-Book from GOBI and how would you update the purchase history for the Weeded titles on GOBI?
Thanks,

Hi Melissa,
Your question about weeding purchased eBooks is very timely for us! We have been struggling with this for the past several years.
* As you said, PQ is easy because we change the book to not visible in LibCentral. This works for both purchased and subscription eBooks, which is awesome!
* With EBSCO, we finally were able to get several purchased titles suppressed by working directly with an eBook specialist. We've been asking since 2015 and were just able to make it happen Nov. 2018. Note: They cannot suppress subscription eBooks. We told them about PQ and asked for the ability to do this.
* Tracking: Currently we only have a handful of weeded titles, so they are on a word doc with the steps for how to "weed" them from our knowledgebase and different vendors. I imagine this will move to a spreadsheet or another tracking method as the list grows.
o In our knowledgebase (Ex Libris) they are still in there as subscribed/purchased, but visibility is turned off. So we have a record in there of having purchased these titles.
Please share if you find out about any other vendors being able to suppress/weed eBooks! Would love to learn more.
Best,
Jennifer

Hi, all.
We've now been purchasing (perpetual access rights) ebooks long enough that we're starting to run into the situation where an ebook is old enough to be "wrong" (eg older editions of medical or legal texts), where if this were a print book, we absolutely would be discarding it. I can see in the COUNTER data that even when we've bought the newest edition with unlimited simul users, some patrons are still using the older ones, which could be anything from harmless to fatal.
We can remove catalog records for older editions, but we can't, to my knowledge, remove them from the actual platforms, and anyone who looks at
BR3 (denial/turnaway data on books) knows that patrons seem able easily to find their way to the content on platforms without the help of our catalog records.
The only platform I know of that makes it easy for us to "remove" an ebook from access on their platform is Proquest, which has that nice "visible"
checkbox.
I would like to hear from other libraries who have faced this issue and tried to remove ebooks. What vendors/publishers cooperate and actually remove the book from your account? What do you have to go through to make that happen? What recordkeeping do you do internally to track those requests (eg for auditors)?
Finally if anyone knows of any good publications (articles or books) or conference presentations on this topic, I would appreciate the references.
Thanks!
