The "enable Open Access Complete collection" checkbox in LibCentral > system settings actually does two things: [1] get approval to access the open access titles [2] include the titles in the autofeed into the Perpetual DDA collection. What if we want to manage the Open Access Complete collection separately? How to improve Ebook Central? Make it into two checkboxes, one for approval, the other one for autofeed, so there will be flexibility for your customers.

I second to add open access as an additional metadata field.

A lot of the e-books at Ebook Central are also available as Open Access via OA platforms like DOAB or OAPEN. Therefore we suggest that there is a note that highlights when an e-book at EBC is available as Open Acess via OA platforms. By this we then know that the actual book is also available as Open Access.
