[Libs-Or] EBSCO Update for Z39.50 Client Users (Action Required)

[Jennifer Maurer]

I received the following update from EBSCO technical support.  It only applies to those using a Z39.50 client to connect to EBSCO.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  
 
"We are pleased to announce that our Z39.50 service has been enhanced and is now more extensible and robust, which will enable us to continue to meet service expansion requirements. Please note that if you target this service with the IP Address 204.179.122.51:201, we need to ask you to change your target to a hostname. The hostname we have created is zgw.ebscohost.com:210. 
While we have no plans to retire the IP address in the near future, the hostname allows us to provide you with the most reliable service and optimal performance. 
Please be sure to change your targets at your earliest convenience. For technical assistance, please communicate with Technical Support at any time via the EBSCO Support Form (http://support.ebscohost.com/contact/askus.php)."
Thanks,
Jen
