[Eril-l] notes in ebook records

[Bazeley, Jennifer]

We use the 856 $z to indicate the number of simultaneous users for ebooks
that have restrictions, and we also include an icon/note in our link
resolver (EBSCO) for ebooks with restrictions. Based on anecdotal
experience, most patrons don't notice the notes regardless of where we have
placed them. I still regularly get queries from faculty and students about
why they are unable to access a single user item that is clearly marked as
such.

Thanks,
Jennifer
