Perpetual Access Models

Ebook Central offers flexible perpetual purchasing models:

  • 1 User  (1U) - 1 patron can access an ebook at any one time
  • 3 User (3U) - 3 patrons can access an ebook at any one time
  • Unlimited Access (UA) - There are no limits to the amount of patrons that can access an ebook simultaneously
  • Non-Linear (NL) - Unique to ProQuest, Non-Linear ebooks work off a 325 loan day per year model. Allowing for simultaneous access, NL caters to peak periods where multiple students may need access to a book. The number of access times will count down the number of loan days for the year. For example, if 20 students access the book for 1 day, only 305 days out of 325 days will remain for the rest of the year.
