Novelist & White list

Post by sraymond »

Hello everyone;
We are using PWB w/a whitelist to limit patrons to catalog and subscription database use. Just recently I noticed that Novelist
(http://web.ebscohost.com/novelist/) is no longer working. It allows the user to navigate to the Novelist homepage, but then will not allow a search to be executed. Perhaps coincidentally (or p'raps not), Novelist just did a major website overhall. Has anyone else experienced this? Care to share any necessary whitelist additions? I haven't yet run de-bug (next move after this) nor contacted EBSCO (2nd move). any help much appreciated! Sandy

You can also use the FilterCheck utility to check your filter file against a given URL.
