Safari E-books Problem

FROM Anne Marie via Mary - and don't you love that title!
If you get complaints about E-book links not working, check the vendor. I just learned that Safari E-books rotates some titles in and out each month -- for example, last month they removed over 1,000 titles that are in our catalog. They supply bib records for the new titles, but apparently, don't provide an easy way for us to identify those to remove (like a list of ISBNs). The E-Resources team is currently working on a solution, but in the meantime, you may need to offer this explanation -- with apologies -- to patrons wanting access to works such as Eat that Frog: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating . (Darn, I wanted to read that.)
