   We would like to add to the comment from 2019, "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."

   We think it is quite important that Proquest highlight ebooks also availablo as OA on platforms like OAPEN or DOAB. It's almost dishonest to claim payment for ebooks obviously published OA on other platforms. The least you could do is to make it viislble so that the library can choose if the want to pay extra for the functionality on the ebook central platform.

   Attached are examples on ebooks available for purchase on ebook central but that are also available for free on OAPEN/DOAB.

   Kind regards
