It might because I think it is the page that has the link resolver URL on it that is still transmitted in the 'referrer' header. It wouldn't get replaced with the link resolver URL. So a direct link and a link resolver link would still have the same 'referrer' header. Good question; I don’t know if a path through a link resolver would trigger the same thing on EBSCO’s end.

I'm guessing that if you provided an open URL in your course pack rather than a permalink, it might work? I wonder if links through a link resolver would trigger in the same way.

HBP content in EBSCOhost carries a publisher-specific rider that says use is limited to “private individual use” and explicitly bars the practice of putting “deep links” of articles from EBSCOhost (so called “persistent linksL2“) into learning management systems. In my words, HBP is attempting to limit access to its content in EBSCOhost to those who find it through the serendipity of searching. And now HBP is going after schools that are using persistent linking, and this raises all sorts of troubling questions.

They still might note a persistent link to a search results screen. Whether their software is sophisticated enough to tie that to the first hit or so of the results set is another matter. Of course, now that we've mentioned it here, they might be updating their algorithm to account for it. (Nah -- <acronym title="Disruptive Library Technology Jester"><i>DLTJ</i></acronym> isn't that high on anyone's radar.)
