Hi Denise,
Thanks for the extra info. That makes sense.  Then, yes!  All seems to be linking as expected 😊

Kind Regards,

Hi Megan,
Yes that is how these ebooklet links work. There’s that intermediate screen that looks more like a periodical selection and users have to click again.

I agree not clear.

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
