Bernadette,
EJS allows you to show an end user access note in Registration Tracker.
You can give a user name and password or any other message you want your
patrons to see.

Subject: [SERIALST] AtoZ lists and password access
We subscribe to EBSCO's AtoZ, and EbscoHost EJS and we have come up with
a dilemma. As an example, we access our online subscription to New
England Journal of Medicine with a password. From our online catalog,
we redirect patrons to a secure web page which contains the password and
a link to the journal. However, if a patron accesses this journal
through our AtoZ list, they get routed through EbscoHost EJS to the
publisher's site, but are denied access without a password. There is no
way for them to know where this password resides. I hope I've managed
to explain this clearly. Does anyone have a solution to this?
