"Public Access Model" in Collection Level

What’s New	Highlights	Impact
A new "Public Access Model" field will be added to electronic collections. When defined, it will be the default public access model for all the portfolios of the electronic collection, unless defined at the portfolio level.	It will be possible to define the "Public Access Model" for the entire collection. If defined in the level of portfolio, the portfolio-level public access model will be used.	Many ebook collections have the same access model for all the related portfolios (for example: unlimited (UA)). Today the definition has to be done for each portfolio. Being able to set this at the collection level will save time and effort.
