No, we keep all of the records we purchase.  They may apply to future bib records that we load.

Subject: [BSLWAC] Handling Deletes...

  I just have a processing question for libraries that use Backstage. Do you send your authority deletes to them? We are pondering not doing it, after we have learned that by sending them in and letting them know they are deletes they are appropriately marked as deleted on the Backstage end.

  However, they do not really delete them on their end, they get a special almost "ghost" like status. So they never get unmarked as deleted should we acquire a bib that needs the heading.

  Has anyone else found a way to deal with this problem?

Thanks,
Bill Kelm
