[Eril-l] 2026 Electronic Access to American Journal of Public Health

Mon Oct 13 09:27:26 PDT 2025

Hi all,

The MLA (Medical Library Association) caucus for Collection Development is also discussing this and I wanted to add this tidbit information from one of their posts and some information from our EBSCO serials rep further down in my email:

Going forward, EBSCO’s Academic Search Premier, CINAHL (full-text versions) and MEDLINE (full-text versions) databases will serve as the sole sources of the APHA journals American Journal of Public Health and The Nation’s Health.

Just confirming that having the non-full-text versions of CINAHL is not enough to get full-text access to these APHA journals. ☹ There are different levels, with just two full-text CINAHL versions before the expensive “Complete” version, called “CINAHL with Full Text” and “CINAHL Plus with Full Text.” To make absolutely sure, I’d check the title lists<https://about.ebsco.com/products/research-databases/cinahl-full-text> for the one you might subscribe to make absolutely sure these journals are/will be included.

We did subscribe to these APHA journals directly through EBSCO serials. Here’s important info we got from our EBSCO serials rep in case you are in the same boat and don’t want your subscription automatically transforming into a print-only one:

·        APHA will no longer offer Print + Online or Online Only subscriptions for these journals.
·        Online access will be available exclusively through EBSCO’s full-text databases.
·        Print-only subscriptions will still be available

If you wish to maintain online access to these journals in 2026, you will need to subscribe to the appropriate EBSCO database by contacting your EBSCO Account Executive, who handles database quotes. If you're unsure who your representative is, feel free to reach out to me and I’ll be happy to provide their contact information.

IMPORTANT: If your current subscription is for Print + Online, it will automatically convert to Print Only for 2026. If you do not wish to continue with print-only access, please update your order to ‘Cancel’ in your EBSCONET Renewal Cart.  If you have already submitted your Renewal Cart, please let me know and I will have the title removed.

Take care,
Michelle

Could you subscribe directly through AJPH<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ajph.aphapublications.org/page/subscriptions.html__;!!MXfaZl3l!Zoq4vxiyqguGpKS9ORVFkxqBKEJyP594HVyUgTcvDrSnEmYpi4RhLdlbfUSwmnO8w2kl7a9BHVMZBXtgkBsFi1N9$>?
Their website talks about institutional subscriptions.
We have it covered in several databases, so we don't have a subscription to that journal.

Morning,

I’m having trouble understanding that the American Journal of Public Health full text online access will only be available via a subscribed EBSCO full text database.

It’s like a mental block 😉 where nothing is getting through!

  *   If a library does not subscribe to an EBSCO Full text database : no full text online access

                Our library subscribes to CINAHL not CINAHL complete and no other EBSCO databases.

  *   How will users of PubMed, Ovid Medline, and any other non-EBSCO users link to content?

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Subject: [EXT] Upcoming Changes to American Public Health Association E-Journal Subscriptions

We have exciting news to share regarding a change to our institutional e-journal hosting. Beginning in 2026, American Public Health Association (APHA) will partner with EBSCO to make select digital publications, including the American Journal of Public Health, available via EBSCO’s industry-leading full-text databases.

At that time, we will discontinue direct institutional subscriptions to those digital products.

Going forward, EBSCO’s Academic Search, CINAHL (full-text versions) and MEDLINE (full-text versions) databases will serve as the sole sources of the APHA journals American Journal of Public Health and The Nation’s Health.

From EBSCO:

Effective January 1st, 2026, AMER PUBLIC HEALTH ASSN (APHA) will no longer offer subscriptions in Print + Online and Online Only for their journals : American Journal of Public Health and Nations Health. APHA will partner with EBSCO to make this journal available via EBSCO’s industry-leading full-text databases. APHA will continue to offer print only subscriptions for these journals, but the only way to get online will be in an EBSCO database.

If you wish to maintain online access for this journal in 2026, you will need to subscribe to the appropriate EBSCO database by contacting your EBSCO Account Executive
