Users may update personal information, view their order history, and view the Terms of Use on the My Account page. Users may also create clips, playlists, and save searches.
Most institutions are automatically assigned a special institutional or "generic" user to facilitate user access to licensed content. The generic user typically will have the name of "{institution} User". The Docuseek2 URLs provided to libraries for licensed content will automatically log the visitor in as the generic user. The generic user by default may only view content on Docuseek2 and retrieve links and embed codes.
Administrators may update personal information, change account settings for users, view order history, view the Terms of Use, generate account usage reports, and download MARC records for licensed content.
Tip: If you want to function as your institution's Docuseek2 administrator, email support@docuseek2.com.
