ContentEbook Central offers flexible perpetual purchasing models:
- 1 User (1U) - 1 patron can access an ebook at any one time
- 3 User (3U) - 3 patrons can access an ebook at any one time
- Unlimited Access (UA) - There are no limits to the amount of patrons that can access an ebook simultaneously
- Non-Linear (NL) - Unique to ProQuest, Non-Linear ebooks work off a 325 loan day per year model. Allowing for simultaneous access, NL caters to peak periods where multiple students may need access to a book. The number of access times will count down the number of loan days for the year. For example, if 20 students access the book for 1 day, only 305 days out of 325 days will remain for the rest of the year.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
