    Hello! If you use eBook Manager via the EBSCOhost Collection Manager (ECM), you already have the ability to weed EBSCO eBooks from your collection. This EBSCO Connect page contains information about eBook Manager and specifically about changing the visibility (i.e., weeding and unweeding) of EBSCO eBooks to your patrons: https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/EBSCOhost-Collection-Manager-eBook-Manager?language=en_US#ebm8

    If you do not want to use eBook Manager, then please contact an EBSCO customer support representative; they can weed and unweed eBooks for you.

    If you do not have access to eBook Manager but would like to, please contact your EBSCO sales representative, and they can help you get an eBook Manager account.
