We also have some EJS links. It is possible to update EJS manually, but there doesn't seem any point in unnecessary duplication of effort when other links already provide adequate access.

-----Original Message-----
At Oxford Brookes we're finding that many of our links to the Ebscohost
Electronic Journals Service on A-to-Z have incorrect holdings. Now that
Ebsco have added direct links to publishers' sites on A-to-Z, we were
wondering if other libraries have simply removed the EJS links as they are
now duplicated by the direct links.
We always preferred to link to EJS rather than directly to the publishers'
sites because EJS provided a common interface so it was more helpful for
users. We are reviewing this now that the links are duplicated and the
holdings information for EJS is often incorrect. It would be very helpful
to know what other libraries have decided to do.
Many thanks
Janet
