Information about titles that have been added to bookshelves by students before the titles are withdrawn from Ebook Central subscriptions
When titles are withdrawn from our Ebook Central subscription, we have no way to knowing if any of the titles that we will lose access to have been added to a student bookshelf (where notes and chapters have been highlighted). Students also do not get notified and may lose access to the title with all highlighting / notes accompanying the text it relates to. I would like to propose that users get some form of notification prior to withdrawal if the title is part of their personal bookshelf to give them an opportunity to save the notes and also that the withdrawal spreadsheet that is circulated before we lose access, includes statistics of the number of bookshelves the title is included in. This will help us judge whether we need to retain access by purchasing a copy before the subscription ends.
