[Digital Library] updates from the ECC Executive Committee

Wed Mar 18 11:38:23 CDT 2020

Hi Cathy,

The hold and checkout limits for the consortium have been changed to 10 and
are now in effect for users.

We will look into Duke Classics and get back to you.

Best wishes,
Maggie Thomann
Secretary, Electronic Content Consortium/Digital Library of Illinois
