We received from Ebsco several hundred sheets with those "online" titles, but nowhere was there any indication if the online access included full text, or abstracts or selected online access or just Table of Contents. When I called the Customer Service Rep, I was told it was MY responsibility to contact EACH publisher for that information. They recommended I go through each publisher's Home page [no URL was offered, rather it was suggested that I check inside each journal itself for the URL] to find my answers and instructions for accessing their journals. Since I have neither the time nor inclination to contact all these publishers on my own, gathering the appropriate information [that I thought was included in my service charges to Ebsco] was put on hold.
