[ERMCommittee] EBSCOhost Consumer Health Complete

Wed Apr 5 19:49:16 UTC 2023

Hi Denise,
I just tested the 3 titles and what I’m seeing is a bit odd (or maybe completely normal!?), I’m not actually sure.  When I click from Primo I’m taken to an EBSCO publication page (Screenshot 1).  Only after clicking on the publications date off to the right (2017, etc) am I taken to where I can view/download a pdf of the book (Screenshot 2). I’ve attached screenshots hoping you can follow my bread crumbs.

If that is how it’s supposed to work, then I guess all is good.  However, I think this can be a bit misleading for users that click on the link from Primo.  They expect to see a pdf somewhere of the item they want and in this case are required to click again to find that.

Kind Regards,

Megan

Hello, Denise.

I just tested all 3, and they are available. The links work as expected. However, I have these CZ records activated in our IZ due to the OpenAthens authentication issues with EBSCO databases.

Please look up these ebooks in your library’s Primo VE. Can you connect to full text in  “EBSCOhost Consumer Health Complete” as expected?

They are short ebooks or booklets.

Thanks for testing for me.
