NOTE:

EBSCO IP Address Expansion

EBSCO is expanding EBSCOhost IP address ranges.

Customers who need to allow access through firewalls, proxies, filtering software or other security features, need to add this IP address range: (140.234.252-255) to their firewall exception list by September 30, 2009, to ensure full, unrestricted access to and from all EBSCO Publishing online products.. 

Please note that not every institution uses security controls (i.e. firewalls, proxies, filtering software, etc), which may require these changes.  If your institution uses these types of security controls for outbound access, please have your IT department review the details of this FAQ (http://support.ebsco.com/knowledge_base/detail.php?id=966) noting our new IP ranges, and make the necessary updates.

Basic Information about EBSCOhost

EBSCOhost is a web-based information resource that includes full text magazines, newspapers and reference tools. Access to EBSCOhost is made possible through a partnership between the State Library of Iowa and Iowa's Area Education Agencies. Funding is provided by your local library and the State Library using federal Library Services and Technology Act dollars.

EBSCOhost has undergone a major redesign in the past year with the roll out of their new version "EBSCOhost 2.0".  Many enhancements have been made to the database to improve the usability of the databse. It has been given a great face lift to simplify using the system for your users.
