[CASL-L] EBSCO Database Direct Links Once More

[Hansen, Eric A]

Cross-posted; please excuse duplication. Please forward as appropriate.

Everyone:

After additional testing, EBSCO provided improved links for libraries without proxy servers that DO want to capture their own usage statistics. The improved links are available in the document (Word or PDF) linked to from the Libguide box at http://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/dld/iconninfo/changes#s-lg-box-wrapper-6569849 for your use. In the document you will find these links beneath the header:

EBSCO Links for Libraries Without Proxy Servers
For libraries that DO want to capture their own usage statistics from EBSCO

If you had already put some or all of these particular links in service, you will want to replace them with the improved links. Link replacement is not mandatory until July 1, at which time links authenticated by Auto-Graphics will cease to function. Auto-Graphics links typically begin with http://rqst-agent.auto-graphics.com/.

NOTE: Libraries that have proxy servers and are already linking directly to EBSCO databases WILL NOT need to change their links. The only exception to this might be if they are not already linking to newer EBSCO interfaces, such as explora.

As always, questions are welcomed.

Eric
