Hi, Rhea:

We moved to the EBSCO interface not long after it was offered. The familiar interface, link resolvers, and full-text content available within EBSCO made the switch appealing even if the updates were slower in coming.

Best,

George

Dear colleagues,

Since EBSCO only receives annual updates from the publisher, Harvard chose to stay with the original platform that is updated daily.  Our subscription is up for renewal soon. Do users feel that the preferred EBSCO interface makes up for the considerable lag? I’d welcome feedback either on or off list.

Many thanks!

Rhea
