[Genealib] Re: Author's request to pull title from shelf and return

[Method, Colleen M]

Any request for a return to author should be addressed according to the concerns.  Where I am at (an academic library) once a book hits the shelves the author has no right to ask for its return.

I'm not cold or not feeling - its up to every library to address this issue.  However, think about the authors who are not completely up on what the responsibilities of an author is versus publisher.  A publisher can recall items and do.  However a self-publisher should consider anything printed to be an "as-is" publication and only publish updated versions.

This persons mistake was renaming the book and not just adding updated or revised on it.
