We had several instructors panic the first week of fall semester when they found we no longer had access to the unlimited user titles they had literally built courses around. It left faculty extremely upset with both the library and ProQuest.
The library doesn't necessarily know which ebooks are used in courses, so we can't always notify individual faculty that specific titles will be removed. And providing a general list won't always get the message to the specific faculty who need to hear it.
It would aid MANY patrons if ebook records included an expiration date on each title expected to be removed (preferably with a 6-month or longer lead time so faculty can plan their courses when access changes are expected).
