EZProxy and subscription services (often RSS feeds)
In many of our eReources, a link is sometimes provided to
offer journal alerts, automated searches or some other
subscription service.
Because we have implemented EZProxy, these links might
contain ".ezproxy.bu.edu" near the domain name. If so,
the service might not work.
Simply remove the ".ezproxy.bu.edu" from the URL.
An example is shown below:
change
http://rss.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.bu.edu/AlertSyndicationService/Syndication.asmx/GetFeed?guid=1238254
to
http://rss.ebscohost.com/AlertSyndicationService/Syndication.asmx/GetFeed?guid=1238254
The subscription service should then function. In the
example above, the changed URL is now recognizable to
RSS Feed Readers.
