Thanks for all the responses. Ebsco have said they will provide me with more information about this and we'll look at our options. It's interesting to hear that the change is in response to publishers not allowing intermediaries to host their content. We still prefer the common interface which EJS has provided but I suppose publishers want to increase their visibility. We've made manual changes to holdings on A-to-Z so we now need to decide whether it is worth spending time amending these or whether we should just remove the EJS link. Some of our users find it confusing to have multiple links to the same content and so having routes to both EJS and publishers' sites is causing some problems but we'll have to balance this against the benefits of the simpler EJS interface.
