EBSCOhost e-audio to OneClickDigital - Notifying Users

[Lin Light]

We have 450 records for purchased titles and close to 3000 for subscribed titles. We also have close that same number of titles whose link sends the user to a soon to die source. So now I have to delete a load and then bring in the same title records with new links.

I and our library consortium staff are not happy campers with such a short notice.
