There seems to be an issue currently with Alma link resolver, when it attempts to resolve a link to an Ebscohost ebook collection (Academic, Community College, etc).

The link resolver attempts to use an incorrect database code (like n9h), instead of nlebk.

We already have a couple of tickets open on this, and the issue popped up yesterday on Alma-L.

The temporary fix is to add the following URL as a parser override for affected collections:

url=https://search.ebscohost.com & shib=$$SHIBBOLETH & customer_id=$$CUSTOMER_ID & athens_id=$$ATHENS_ID & u_shib=$$U_SHIBBOLETH & sso=$$SSO & dbase=nlebk

The parser override can be added by going to the collection in Alma, selecting ‘Edit Service’, and then adding the override url on the ‘Linking’ tab.
