When institutions own a 1U and NL copy that Availability in Ebook Central should state that multiple copies are owned.
We have titles with both 1U and NL user licences, but on the library catalogue the statement is "your library owns 1 x copy" which is misleading for users.

We have just come up against this issue as well. It would be useful for 1U or 3U + NL combinations to be listed as multiple copies so that students don't think there are only 1 or 3 copies available.

This is a serious pain point for us. Faculty, students, and most of the library staff do not have access to LibCentral and have no idea that multiple copies are actually available to them for teaching and learning. Consequently, they are requesting and placing order for titles that we don't need. This creates unnecessary work all around.

We have turnaway prevention turned on so agree that this statement is misleading to our users.
