Discontinuing Support for Legacy EJC URLs
Thursday, November 5, 2020
OhioLINK will discontinue support for EJC legacy URLs. These URLs were used by the “old” (pre-August 2016) EJC and were supported in order to bridge the gap between the old legacy EJC and the current EJC systems for anyone who had not used RAVE URLs to bookmark content.
The discontinued URL schemas are:
journals.ohiolink.edu/ejc/article.cgi?issn={legacyissn}&issue={legacyissuehandle}&article={legacyarticlehandle}
journals.ohiolink.edu/ejc/issue.cgi?issn={legacyissn}&issue={legacyissuehandle}
journals.ohiolink.edu/ejc/journal.cgi?issn={legacyissn}
journals.ohiolink.edu/ejc/rss.cgi?issn={legacyissn}
journals.ohiolink.edu/ejc/rss.cgi?{dummy}
journals.ohiolink.edu/ejc/index.cgi
Where {legacyissuehandle} and {legacyarticlehandle} are the internal identifiers from the legacy EJC.
Other URLs no longer supported include:
journals.ohiolink.edu/pg_###?::NO###:P###_JOURNALID:########
and similiar URLs. We recommend you always use a RAVE URL when you are linking to a journal title in the EJC
