problem with access
I already had trouble accessing it because one person can use at that time. Is this designed so that if someone is logged on and stays logged on unintentionally, the system along them off Sosa so that others can use this resource? Possibly, one subscription isn’t going to be enough for the entire university. At the very least, perhaps there should be a maximum 15 minute logon time and some way of tracking how many people are being refused access so that you can make a decision about buying more copies.

Thank you for your response, John. It is often the case that when new e-products are first announced, everyone wants to check them out and this does, unfortunately, create turnaway situations when we have a limited number of concurrent users. After this initial period, turnaways are infrequent. We do monitor usage and turnaway statistics for just the reason you mention – in case we have to increase our number of users. Most publishers have an automatic log off feature; we’ll check with the publisher to see how long theirs is.
