What do I need to know about using eBooks from ProQuest eBook Central in the LMS?

E-Book Central (ProQuest) includes a mix of owned, subscribed and at times Patron Driven Acquisition titles. 

Recommendation: Check license type of individual titles with a Check Library License Type form. The library team will respond and let you know if we can buy an unlimited owned license and if the cost of the book is acceptable. 

   No Risk  Purchase an owned unlimited license. Any amount of users can access and library owns the eBook. 

   High Risk  Subscribed license which ProQuest or the publisher can pull the eBook at any time. Unlimited users but eBooks are removed twice a year.
