Hello Helen.
Yes, we are in the same situation and are contacting EBSCO about this.
Kindest regards,

>We were recently notified that EBSCO would no longer be supporting Athens

>target for E-Journals is currently unavailable in Ex Libris' SFX Knowledge Base
>and I have been informed by EBSCO that there are no plans to add this

>charges for EBSCOhost A-Z. Are there any other institutions who are in a
>similar position and have found a way to resolve this problem? I have logged a
>request with Ex Libris to pursue adding EBSCOhost E-Journals as a new target
>in SFX, as this would be the most satisfactory solution for us, and would like to
>encourage you to do the same if applicable.

>Please feel free to contact me off-list if preferred.

>Thank you.
