EBSCO A-to-Z / LinkSource back online

It appears that we are no longer experiencing network connectivity issues with our link resolver. However, note that EBSCO has told us of intermittent link resolver network issues that many of their other library customers have experienced during busy time periods the last several days, so the issue may creep up again, (hopefully not for us though!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EBSCO A-to-Z which would effect Find Journals @ RMU and EBSCO LinkSource /
Get It @RMU link resolver are experiencing server issues today.

EBSCO is aware of the problem and many other EBSCO clients are currently experiencing the same problem. EBSCO is working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

For additional assistance or any other questions or concerns related to this, contact Emily Paladino (paladino@rmu.edu).
