Choosing the Right Portfolio from the Community Zone

Often a CZ search for an electronic title will produce dozens of portfolios to choose from.  Always prefer using a relevant collection that is already active, even if it means creating a local portfolio. Active collections are marked with the blue house icon on the CZ search results screen. It is not currently possible to filter search results to exclude inactive collections, so some scrolling may be required.



Unless you have reason to believe that Princeton's electronic access is related to one of these specific groups/projects, do not activate portfolios via collections that begin with the acronyms below. Use instead collections that simply contain the name of the relevant publisher/provider.
