Hello Jennifer,

You generally will get more current access through the publisher, as EBSCO only adds content to EJS when the publisher supplies it to them. Remember that EJS is just an aggregator, and it has been my experience that access on that platform does not always match what you can get on the publisher's platform. For example, you may have access to more years at the publisher's site.

In our library, we provide both links in our link resolver.

Subject: [SERIALST] setting up access to individual ejournals-by vendor or publisher?

Hello,
We recently subscribed to two individual ejournal titles through Ebscohost, who is getting the titles from two different publishers. One for example, is SLACK.

My question is: In Serials Solutions, what is the best way to make these titles accessible?  Should I enable "Ebscohost EJS" as the database and then add the two titles within there, or should I enable the links through each publisher separately, for example SLACK and then the other?
Are there pros and cons to either approach (linking to vendor or linking to publisher)? How do you handle this in your A-Z lists? I am thinking I should link them through EJS, since that is where we are getting them from, but when I asked Ebsco which to choose they told me to link through the publishers...

Sorry if this question is obvious. This is our first time subscribing to individual ejournal titles, so I want to make sure that I am doing this correctly and have a plan in place as we continue to add individual titles.

Thank you in advance!
