Customers using EBSCOhost^® Electronic Journals Service (EJS) Enhanced may now view more than 5 million articles on the e-journal gateway. This content milestone comes on the heels of another recent EJS announcement - the availability of more than 1 million pay-per-view articles.

"Content is key to our business, so we continue to develop better methods of obtaining accurate, up-to-date and complete coverage for all journals with content viewable on EJS," said Meg Waites, EJS content manager, EBSCO Information Services. "The more articles we offer, the more valuable our service becomes."

EJS handles electronic journal access and management needs. EJS Enhanced offers extensive features that help with e-journal management tasks such as: tracking the registration status of e-journals, authentication assistance to facilitate both on-campus and remote access to e-journal content, automatic management of e-journal URLs and much more. EJS Enhanced serves as a consolidated gateway that allows users to search and link to (OpenURL supported) more than 10,000 journals and 5 million articles. EBSCO provides durable URLs for every journal, table of contents and article in EJS Enhanced. No URL maintenance by the library is required. A basic version of this service is also offered to provide a library with a single site for accessing those e-journals to which they subscribe through EBSCO.
