Hi Jennifer,

I just checked and everything is working on our end. This might be a long shot, but I noticed that your email mentioned you have IP authentication set to "Yes". I looked at our settings and we have "yes" there. I know that sometimes the linking parameters can be fussy about case sensitivity so maybe try that? Again, I wouldn't count on that being the cause but it's worth a shot.

Good luck!

Subject: [Eril-l] ALMA: Ovid Journals Linking Issue


Good afternoon,



Is anyone experiencing linking issue to Ovid journals through ALMA/Primo?



Linking to Ovid Journals brings users to the Ovid Login screen: Ovid Select Resource(s) to search

Linking to Ovid articles same result.



Our library has IP Authentication so setting linking parameters in the Journals Complete Collection has never been an issue.

IP Auth= Yes



To cover the bases: updated the OCLC Database Stanza for Ovid Journals.



Did something change? Last update on the collection was last week.

I don’t find any updated information in the knowledgebase.



Reaching out to Ovid & Ex Libris.



Thanks!

Jennifer
