For example, if a library acquires a title with rights to a single user: at a time, then that item is counted as 1 "unit"; if the library acquires rights to a single title for 10 simultaneous users, then that item is counted as 10 "units". For smaller libraries, if volume data are not available, the number of titles may be counted. Unlimited simultaneous use: units of acquisition or purchase is based on the number of titles acquired. For example, if al library acquires a collection of 100 books with unlimited simultaneous users, then that collection would be counted as 100 "units."
