Add purchase model to more auto-holdings.
It is great to have purchase model added automatically for Ebook Central og JSTOR Books holdings, and it would be even better if we could get purchase model also when using auto-holdings for publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Taylor & Francis and de Gruyter. We have evidence based acquisition agreements with all of these publishers and it would be very helpful if we could see which titles were in the EBA corpus and which we have purchased, either through the EBA or by earlier collection purchases.

We agree it and hope the function will be realised.

In response to the Anonymous comment on what should be done if multiple licenses apply to a book (i.e. a book is both owned and in an EBA)--following the precedent of the ProQuest Ebook Central autoholdings integration, there should be a series of checkboxes in the portfolio, one for each access model (owned, subscribed, in DDA, etc). If a book is in multiple categories, multiple checkboxes should be checked.

Without question, the more auto-holdings collections for which purchase models can be recorded, the better for us.
Auto-holdings represent a great time saving, except when they fail to record information which is crucial to use and decision-making. Purchase models are unequivocally crucial information, and their absence from many of the auto-holdings integrations erases many of the advantages we could otherwise accrue.

This would be extremely useful. One important thing to consider is ... How will titles/portfolios be handled that we have purchased but are also included in the EBA collection. This is not an uncommon occurrence. It must prefer the purchased and ignore the EBA.

We have a variety of access models and licenses so the clearer we can make what we own and what the user model is the better.
