Full-text journal article collections from EBSCO are experiencing a problem being seen by all EBSCO customers, a known issue that the company is working to resolve. When arriving at the website of an EBSCO journal collection from the Journals A-Z list, users may be surprised to find that only a single year and a single issue from that year will display in the right-hand sidebar.
Entering a search containing only the journal's title, however, will show that, as expected, many more articles are available within that title. Enter the journal title in quotes, preceded by the tag JN, to view a results list of all articles.
If you first arrive at the "Publication Details" page for a journal in EBSCO, clicking "Search within this publication" will retrieve a normal search screen. From there, "AND"ing in your search terms will elicit normal results. Applying the "Full Text" limit along with your desired date range narrows results appropriately, and of course, the more specific the search terms themselves are, the more manageable the results list. Nothing the user can do at this time, however, will result in a display of all available years and issues in the right sidebar. EBSCO is dealing with this aberration as high priority and will have it fixed as soon as possible.
