Comments on: EBSCOhost Connection Records Found In-The-Wild http://dltj.org/article/ebscohost-connection/ We're Disrupted, We're Librarians, and We're Not Going to Take It Anymore Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:48:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: Irenehttp://dltj.org/article/ebscohost-connection/comment-page-1/#comment-41754 Irene Mon, 18 Jan 2010 05:41:12 +0000 http://dltj.org/?p=1272#comment-41754 Thanks for the information. I had not heard of Ebscohost Connection until I read this post. I appreciate Tom Pasley's link to his custom search box, which worked well and gave good results. I attempted to log in and could not, but in reading Ebscohost Connection's explanation on the site, as well as Aaron's explanation here, realize that I can contact my subscribing library to ask if they will opt in for the service. This was a very convenient way to search. I expect this type of access will grow and hope to see many similar options in the future. Thanks for the information.

I hadn't thought of using a Custom Search to pull up records in just EBSCOhost Connect. That does work around the fact that those results aren't commonly found in the main Google index.

I had a quick convo with Ebsco today. Evidently CONNECTION is a library by library opt in (free) service. Ebsco said that some libraries don't want their patrons to be able to access materials through Google.This is fine and dandy, but Ebsco could certainly do a better job with the UI letting people know that the whole thing might not work, etc...
