Why do Packages and Journals we do not subscribe to appear in HLM?
There have been ongoing issues reported with Packages and titles being unexpectedly selected in HLM and reappearing when they are deleted.
A significant reason for this is the operation of the Auto-population process by EBSCO. This adds and updates items automatically when your subscriptions change. EBSCO allows a grace period so you may find that you continue to see things auto populate for a period after your subscription ends.
To avoid issues the simplest solution is to "Hide" any Packages or Journal titles where you do not have live subscriptions. More information on Hiding in HLM.
If you have examples of long cancelled subscriptions reviving in this way then please report them to the Service Desk.
