<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">We would really like to have the number of simultaneous users more visible to our users. It has caused lots of confusion especially when an ebook reading is assigned to an entire class. Currently our records
only indicate the availability mode when the user is already on the ebook provider’s platform and our experience has been that the message on the vendor’s platform is often overlooked because it is or because it is not visible enough. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have gotten to the point where we really need to include notes in each of our ebook bib records about numbers of simultaneous users.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have others of you found a need to do this retrospectively? How have you approached this?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_-3916650082081789363MsoListParagraph"><u></u><span>3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><u></u>Does a note also appear within your openURL resolver, and what does that look like?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="m_-3916650082081789363MsoListParagraph"><u></u><span>4.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><u></u>How did you handle books from the same vendor that have different user restrictions? For example, we have ebrary books that have 1, 3 or unlimited users. Do you put the same note in every book from that vendor (that says something like,
“Connect to ebook for use restrictions,” or something generic like that), or do you divide up the books into different groups so you can give more precise notes? If you divide them up, how do you manage them in your knowledgebase? Do you keep custom lists?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have Serials Solutions for our knowledgebase and get some MARC records from them for ebooks. We have Summon and 360 Link for discovery and openURL linking, and Innovative Sierra for our ILS.<u></u><u></u></p>
