Problem with display of EBSCOhost databases

[Judith Garrison]

For the starting location URL for my two guides I have used a redirect link from our consortium subscription and it has worked fine until recently. Not sure when it stopped working-- I just discovered it today.
Now the redirect link works outside of GOTS but does not open a window in the tutorial.   Any clues as to what has changed?  Could this be on the EBSCO end of things?  Does it has anything to do with the session id information in the url?

We are having the same issue with our EBSCO guides. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

We have been able to work around the issue using POP up mode, but it isn't ideal, and doesn't work at all for those accessing on iPads, phones, etc.

I have contacted EBSCOhost and tried to explain what is happening.  I will pass along any information I get from them.

I suspect they've implemented a kind of frame-busting, for which popup mode is the only workaround at the moment. Let us know if you hear back.

We got around this by finding the link without a session id and then adding a link to the front page of the tutorial, not ideal but does the trick. here is what we mean, even though you wont be able to login into our EBSCo search you can see how we have done the wording.

Go to page 2 of our tutorial see step 1
