Well, that’s not really the news I wanted to hear! I have more info now, but am more confused. Here you go:
We did not know about the migration. We may have received an email, I don’t want to say EBSCO never sent one, but none of us in the library knew about it. Ironically, my library coordinator received an email yesterday welcoming her to the Full Text Resolver,
and she flagged it as something to check into. That’s the first we knew of it, and had no idea it was going live today. We came in this morning to our A-Z list gone, with a white page that’s blank. I don’t know if this will work, but this is the link to
what I see:

So if you are using A-Z, you might want to contact EBSCO and see if you are going to be migrated anytime soon. On another note: we were told this morning that it will have to be password protected, so our A-Z list can’t be accessed off campus without a
password. That is a real pain. There should be no reason why someone can’t at least see the list. You still have to have passwords to access the full text of items.
Joslyn, that does not sound good. I really hope that doesn’t happen to me as I have not prepared for the migration and don’t have a current list of our custom titles ready.
I am going to lunch and praying this morning was a dream. This was just one of many things we walked into this morning. Happy Friday!!
