Texas Tech Health El Paso Libraries: Issues Notification

EBSCO Article Linking from Raider Search blocked by Lubbock EZ Proxy – Resolved (Updated 6/3/2025)

Reported on: 12/23/2024, last update 05/09/2025

Status: Resolved

Description: When linking out to an EBSCO article, through Raider Search, Browzine, LibKey, or PubMed “TTUHSC El Paso” button, users are sent to an intermediate page for EBSCO to find an article match. After the match process, users are then re-directed to a Lubbock EZ Proxy “Ooops! You appear to be on the TTUHSC El Paso campus” page (see screenshot). EBSCO journal, book, and chapter links are not affected by this issue.

 

This error occurred as EBSCO attempted to re-authenticate users after leaving a linked system for articles. The vendor has updated the TTU HSC El Paso account, to make sure El Paso users are authenticated through the El Paso EZ Proxy.

If you are still encountering this issue, please notify us as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Annie.Hackler@ttuhsc.edu.
