E-book User Limit Notes

E-book providers use different language to describe their user limits (multiple user access, unlimited user access, 3 concurrent users, etc). This language was standardized across the different e-book collections in the Network Zone (NZ) to facilitate a better user experience. These public notes appear in the view it section in Primo as a Public Note. The standardized language used for the different access models are described below.

Unlimited licenses with DRM (e.g., ProQuest Ebooks Central Academic Complete Collection, ACLS Humanities e-book)

This note is at the e-collection level in the Public Note field under the Notes tab. Notes at the e-collection level filter to all the portfolios within that collection.

Limited User Access (e.g. 3 users / 1 user licenses, NetLibrary/EBSCO e-books, ProQuest Ebook DDA Perpetual,)

This note is added to the e-collection at the portfolio-level. The note will need to be updated using the Portfolio Loader. Export the portfolios from the e-collection and update the public note to standardize the user limit public note and then upload the edited file. EBSCO will send a spreadsheet with user limits for EBSCO E-books.
