Yes, that's the core difference.  One ends up on various publishers' websites for various journals instead of being able to access the journals content from a single platform.

At first there was a common EJS platform, at least from my recollection.

EJS is still working for my institution.  I’ve looked at a few journals and so far have authenticated through to the publisher website, rather than accessing PDFs directly on EJS.

 

Unproxied, the link is:  http://ejournals.ebsco.com/home.asp

I believe the "new" service is called EBSCO Access (A-Z), and there is a free and an enhanced version. You will need to contact your EBSCO rep to set this up – EBSCO will preload the list with your EBSCO subscriptions, but they will set up a new account so your old EJS password will no longer work.   

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [SERIALST] EBSCO EJS ejournals

 

Hello

We are currently cleaning up our list of databases and I am looking at EBSCO EJS ejournals. In my opinion, it looks like this services is no longer offered by EBSCO. I am waiting for a call from EBSCO but I realize they are probably busy.

 

Is EBSCO EJS ejournals a service no longer provided by EBSCO?

 

Thank you for your help,

Susan Oxford
