[Wactclc-primo] temporary free collections in CZ

[Herman, Amy]

Just a follow up for those who were interested:

Project MUSE free eBook and eJournal access has ended.  I was no longer able to access those titles. I have removed those collections from Alma.

JSTOR has extended their free ebook access for current customers, through August 31, 2020.

ScienceDirect free eTextbooks for current customers are still active.  No date is listed for removing them.

Subject: temporary free collections in CZ

We've discussed this briefly at several of our recent meetings, so I thought I'd just throw out here which Collections I have activated in Primo (via the CZ) at our library.  It took some testing to figure out exactly which collections matched the temporary free content I was seeing on the actual vendor platforms, so I thought it might be useful to anyone else trying to figure out the correct collection names. I did only a few selected collections that will be easy to remove in one fell swoop once they are no longer free.


1.       "JSTOR Books Complimentary Collection"(17,595 portfolios); for JSTOR current subscribers only, I believe. I am running through EZproxy.

2.       "Elsevier ScienceDirect Textbooks" (256 portfolios);  for ScienceDirect current subscribers only, I believe. I am running through EZProxy.

3.       "Project MUSE Free Books During COVID-19" (17,595 portfolios); not running through proxy server because they are free to all

4.       "Project MUSE Free Journals During COVID-19" (241 portfolios); not running through proxy server because they are free to all
