The overflow option enables you to accommodate a mix of users. For example, say you have two staff members who are both users of OCLC products and services. You may have remote libraries that you want charged at a flat monthly rate. Each access type has its own simultaneous user pool. A single, combined pool of Access and User Support Fees, applied jointly across both access methods.
Users see the message Maximum number of simultaneous users logged on, please try later.
Additional overflow logons billed at the connect time rate. Users see the message Maximum number of simultaneous users logged on, this session will be charged connect time pricing. Because many users have automated scripts to help users logon, OCLC recommends that you not rely heavily on these messages as a method of managing network capacity. The messages many not be readily apparent to the user. A. OCLC looks at the OCLC symbol associated with your Cataloging or Resource Sharing authorization number to determine your library.
