[Wactclc-alma] FW: EBSCOhost changes - what about ebook collections?

Fri Jan 7 09:42:40 PST 2022

If you have had any issues recently with Primo links for Ebsco ebooks, I'd suggest reviewing the thread below from Alma-L.

It looks like for at least one Ebsco ebook collection, the database code specified in the parser parameters needs to be updated.

Hi Sharon,
Thanks, this has fixed the problem, but I'll also ask Ex Libris to fix the parser.
Thanks for your reply!

Hello Petrina,

After the last CZ update on 3.1.22, we encountered a similar problem with the same 'EBSCOhost Ebook Academic Collection - World Wide'. We got this error:

[cid:image001.png at 01D803A3.2DAF10B0]

We found out that one letter was modified in the Parser Parameter: The letter *t* replaced the letter *x* at the phrase: dbase=e000xww.
Once we restore to the old Parse Param before the change, we got access to the books again.
We changed the Parse Param from:
url=https://search.ebscohost.com & shib=$$SHIBBOLETH & customer_id=$$CUSTOMER_ID & athens_id=$$ATHENS_ID & u_shib=$$U_SHIBBOLETH & sso=$$SSO & dbase=e000tww & ipauth=$$IPAUTH
To:
url=https://search.ebscohost.com & shib=$$SHIBBOLETH & customer_id=$$CUSTOMER_ID & athens_id=$$ATHENS_ID & u_shib=$$U_SHIBBOLETH & sso=$$SSO & dbase=e000xww & ipauth=$$IPAUTH

We reported that to Ex Libris and asked for clarifications. We are still await for an answer.

We are not using CUSTOMER_ID or OPID in our institution's setting of the collection.
Hope this fix can help you.

Sharon

Hi all,
I was away for a fair bit of December so missed the OPID change. This could be unrelated, but the problem I have come back to is with the 'EBSCOhost Ebook Academic Collection - World Wide' collection which uses the 'EBSCO_HOST::netlibrary' parser. For all books in this collection, I'm seeing this error:
https://search.ebscohost.com/WebAuth/PersistentLink.aspx?AN=125373&direct=true&site=ehost-live&db=e000tww&custid=s3716178&authtype=sso&scope=site

[cid:image008.jpg at 01D803A3.2DAF10B0]
I tested other collections using the same parser, but didn't get this error. Has anyone else seen this error? I've reported it to Ex Libris, but not expecting an answer for a while.

Thanks,
Petrina
