[Wactclc-primo] [EXTERNAL*]-[Wactclc-alma] temporary free collections in CZ

[Elena Bianco]

Thanks for that, Amy. Useful. I will activate the JSTOR and the Elsevier.

Skagit has enabled the ProQuest Ebook Central Collection, but it was a challenge to find in the Community Zone. You have to know that it's Ebook Central College Complete.

Subject: [EXTERNAL*]-[Wactclc-alma] 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
