Everyone,

I will be implementing secure connections to EBSCO resources in researchIT CT on Friday, May 4. This means that if your library is using or has posted direct links to EBSCO databases in research IT CT, you will need to change the protocol in those links from http:// to https:// after May 4.  For those libraries that proxy into EBSCO, see the document linked to below and scroll or flick down to Proxy Server Updates for more information.  Likewise, to learn which web browser versions EBSCO recommends, see the page linked to below and scroll or flick down to Browser Requirements.

NOTE: The transition to a secure connection can take up to 24 hours to take effect. 

Questions are welcomed.
