Subject: [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
