I had a conversation with someone at EBSCO about this recently. "EJS" means different things to different people including the distinction between the free basic and for-fee enhanced services. They have discontinued acting as a secondary host for content available on other platforms.

And IIRC also discontinued acting as a primary host, and also forwarding links through to other platforms.

But get the precise details from EBSCO, yes, and please share back with us.

Hello,

3 people at EBSCO had told me that EBSCO EJS has been discontinued since 2016. We still use the platform and EBSCO is updating holdings for our journals to the current year. I am wondering if they mean they are no longer updating the platform, but still updating holdings for those who sue it. 99% of the time EJS works.

I'm going to speak with an EBSCO engineer soon about it. I just wondered if anyone else had insights into this.

Thanks,
